LOS ANGELES. - A judge requested an order to conduct an audit on R&B pop-star Chris Brown's community service progress after prosecutors claimed that there was a discrepancy in the hours he served. Prosecutors stated that the number of hours and locations of where he served is unclear.
Pat Harris, the singer's attorney, claimed that the audit was about confusion regarding the jurisdiction in which Brown served and hence did not object to the request. The community service is from the 2009 case in which the singer beat his then girlfriend R&B singer Rihanna. Brown is currently serving his five year probation with six months of community service, of which he has served three.
Part of the community service includes manual labor, road clean-ups and graffiti sponging. He performed the service for three months in the State of Virginia, the 23- year-olds home place.
The judge also declined Mark Geragos, another one of Brown's attorneys request to terminate the singer's probation in February. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg has called Brown into court for a hearing on August 21.
Last month the singer had been in the news for another incident which involved a violent bottle-throwing tussle with the entourage of hit rapper and singer Drake at a New York night club called W.i.P. Neither Drake not Brown have been arrested in the incident; however the NYC club faces litigation from basketball star Tony Parker. The incident does not seem to have any bearing on Brown's current probation, since neither the judge nor prosecutors made any mention of the occurrence.
