Chris Brown Agrees To 1,000 New Hours Of Community Service

Chris Brown likes to paint and sing about graffiti and soon he could be scrubbing it from sites across Los Angeles.

The “Run It” singer agreed Friday to complete 1,000 new hours of community labor to resolve a battle with prosecutors over his probation for beating Rihanna in 2009.



The judge said Brown could lick the additional chunk of hard labor doing freeway trash removal, beach clean-up, graffiti abatement or maintenance and janitorial work for the county probation department. The DA’s office had been gunning for revocation of Brown’s felony probation — a move that could have landed him in jail.

At the very least, prosecutors wanted a modification that would have forced him to repeat the six months of community labor included in his original sentence.
