Chris Brown gets an additional 131 days in jail

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Brown has been sentenced to serve an additional 131 days in jail, after he confessed to violating his probation. The R&B singer appeared in a Los Angeles court on Friday (May 9) and admitted that he committed a crime in Washington, DC last year.

Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin sentenced Brown to serve 365 days in custody, but gave him credit for 234 days he spent in rehab and jail.

The star was arrested after being dismissed from a court-ordered rehab sentence and has been in custody since mid-March.

He faces a misdemeanour assault charge in Washington after a man accused Brown of hitting him outside a hotel in the area.

It is unclear how many days in custody Brown will serve.

Brown has been under court supervision after pleading guilty to beating popstar Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, in 2009.
