Chris Brown Has Probation Revoked, Protests Innocence
Star faces up to four years in jail after hit-and-run incident...
Chris Brown has had his probation revoked in relation to his infamous assault on Rihanna following a hit-and-run charge.
Breezy could face up to four years in jail after the Los Angeles District Attorney
filed legal documents on Monday (July 15), with the judge who ruled
over Brown's 2009 conviction seeking to revoke the R&B bad boy's
probation.
He claims that Brown broke the law "willfully and unlawfully" during a hit-and-run incident in May 2013.
Brown received a sentence of five years' probation after he assaulted RiRi before the Grammy Awards in 2009.
The D.A. is pursuing him for a violation after he reportedly left the scene of a car accident in May without providing a California driver's license and insurance information to the other driver.
Meanwhile, Brown has insisted upon his innocence,
tweeting back in June :"It's not a hit and run if u get out the car,
exchange information (who has NO DAMAGE to either cars).This is really
ridiculous."
A few minutes later, he suggested that the other driver was being
opportunistic, tweeting: "She contacted the cops thinking of a payday
from Chris Brown when I followed the proper procedures."
Earlier today, TMZ reported that even the other
driver's lawyer will make a court appearance to support Brown, saying he
did in fact provide the correct information.
But if lawyers are unsuccessful in demonstrating that he followed
the law, Brown may face as much as four years of prison time. Until a
hearing on August 18, however, Brown will remain released on his own
recognisance.
Following the hearing, the singer continued to protest his
innocence on Twitter, writing: "I did everything I was suppose to do
during the so called hit n run, I provided the correct info. There were
no injuries or damages. C'mon!!"
He then sent a shout-out to his fans, with a note of optimism that
he will be acquitted, stating: "Love you Team Breezy. I hope people can
actually see the truth."
