According to Los Angeles prosecutors, RnB/pop singer Chris Brown has violated his probation by failing to complete the community service labor that he was sentenced to do in 2009 after pleading guilty for beating up pop singer Rihanna.
On Tuesday, LA District Attorney Jackie Lacey said that the singer's supervisors fudged the amount of hours of labor that Brown did in Virginia. "After a thorough review of all documents and evidence submitted to the court, it appears there are significant discrepancies indicating at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting," Lacey wrote in court papers. As a result, prosecutors are asking a judge to force Brown to redo his sentence of 180 hours of community service in LA.
Brown's representatives contested that the "Turn Up The Music" singer completed 202 hours of community labor. Chief of Police in Richmond, VA., Bryan T. Norwood wrote a letter to the judge last September 14 testifying that Brown went successfully completed odd jobs including window washing and picking up trash. However, prosecutors argued that in at least two cases when he was credited for picking up trash, airline records show he was actually traveling to Cancun, Mexico, or back from Dubai.
Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, lashed out at prosecutors calling the motion to revoke Chris' probation "shameful and a disgrace." Geragos told the Associated Press he believes the motion is defamatory and "in essence, it calls everyone a liar in the Richmond Police Department and the Virginia Probation Department." He plans to seek sanctions from the District Attorney's Office for filing a "frivolous, scurrilous and frankly defamatory motion."
