Singer Chris Brown is scheduled to be back in court next month for the first time in several months. According to the Associated Press, a judge ordered an audit of Brown's community service progress on Tuesday. This is after a prosecutor handling his felony assault case cited a possible discrepancy in the amount of work he has performed.
Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg stated that Brown had completed a significant number of hours, but did not elaborate. The judge said that part of the issue was that the court had not received detailed logs of the 23-year-old's community service, which is supposed to comprise of graffiti removal, roadside cleanup and other manual labor. Schnegg said that those logs had been provided previously, but not for recent updates.
Brown remains on probation for beating his then-girlfriend [Singer] Rihanna in February of 2009. He has completed domestic violence and anger management counseling.
No mention was made of the recent New York City brawl that left Brown with a cut on his chin from bottles thrown, or a woman's claim that the singer had snatched her cellphone in Miami after she tried to take a picture of him.
According to the Associated Press, Brown's attorney Mark Geragos asked that the singer's probation be terminated in February. However, a judge declined, stating that the Grammy nominee should complete more of his community service obligations.
At the time, officials have reported that the singer had completed half of the six months' worth of roadside cleanup, graffiti removal and other manual labor that he was ordered to perform after pleading guilty.
Brown is serving a five year probation sentence.
