Chris Brown Forced Back Into Rehab Or Go To Jail

Anger management: Chris looked on while his attorney Mark Geragos talked to the judge

Chris Brown is going back to rehab, this time with new rules from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin, who has ordered him to serve three months in a residential treatment facility and to submit to drug testing. The judge also ordered the R&B singer to perform at least 24 hours of community labor per week.

Meanwhile, Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, says the terms were recommended by probation officers and the singer agrees to abide by them. The 24-year-old may still face a probation violation due to his arrest last month on a misdemeanor assault charge in Washington, D.C. but Brandlin and a prosecutor want more details.

TMZ has revealed that Chris was kicked out of his rehab program earlier this month after he threw a rock at his mother's car. The site reports that his mother showed up to a "family session" and was urging Chris to stay for extended treatment. Chris is said to have violently disagreed with her and shattered her car window with a rock. TMZ also report that as a result of the judge wanting a report on the incident in Washington, Chris could still face time behind bars.

The LA County District Attorney's Office wanted to put this forward as evidence along with other incidents to argue Brown's probation revoked, meaning he could have faced up to four years in jail.
Wednesday's hearing was the first time Brown had been in court since he was arrested last month in Washington, D.C. after a 20-year-old man accused Brown of punching him after he tried to get in a photo with the R&B singer.

Brown denied to police that he hit the man but was charged with misdemeanor assault. It was this incident which prompted his rehab stay earlier this month for anger management issue. Brown probation for assaulting Rihanna was briefly revoked this summer after a hit-and-run incident.
He was also ordered to redo 1,000 hours of community service because there were questions about whether he actually completed his initial penalty.
