Chris Brown’s court troubles never seem to end. The R&B singer found himself in front of a Los Angeles judge on Friday, where he was told that he will be expected to attend a follow-up hearing on June 10.
At issue? There are lingering rumors that he misreported his community service, filing false claims that he cleaned stables, scrubbed floors, and performed other not-too-glamorous tasks in Virgina. Los Angeles County isn’t convinced that he actually completed his legal obligations, and there are rumors that he may be required to return for more — this time in Los Angeles.
Richmond, VA police chief Bryan Norwood has already resigned from his job in the wake of the investigation into whether or not Brown really did all the work he said he did. Norwood is the official who signed off on the paperwork stating that Chris Brown had finished the 180 days (1,440 hours) of required community service.
But the Los Angeles County court thinks that Chris Brown’s documents are either sloppy or downright fraudulent, according to a motion filed by L.A. County prosecutors in February.
Just one example from a previous The Inquisitr report by Page Mackinley: “Brown claimed he picked up trash in Richmond between 9 am and 5 pm on December 12, 2011. But LA prosecutors say the Department of Homeland Security can provide evidence that Brown cleared customs at Dulles International Airport, some 120 miles away, at 6.44 am that day, after landing from Dubai.” And there’s a whole lot more.
Unless you’ve been living on Mars, you probably already know that Brown was ordered to perform the community service as a result of a 2009 assault on his celebrity girlfriend Rihanna. He has since called the attack his “greatest regret.”
Rihanna actually appeared at the February hearing to offer support, but she wasn’t to be seen in court on Friday.
While the two stars are reconciled, at least for the moment, it’s an open question whether she’ll be there for Chris Brown’s June 10 court date.
