Chris Brown was at a nightclub over the weekend where there was a
shooting incident that left 5 people injured. For that they've revoked
his probation and probation department wants him locked up
Chris Brown has had his probation revoked in the
Rihanna case, in part because he was present at 2 separate nightclubs
when people inside were shot, and officials are worried about more
shootings and think Chris should serve time behind bars.
Chris
showed up for a progress report Thursday, when the judge told him the
probation report presented multiple problems. First, the report mentions
the shooting last Sunday in San Jose when Chris was on stage. Five people were injured. The
judge also said the probation report expressed concern over another
shooting at 1OAK during VMA weekend last August. Again, Chris was on
stage and several people were shot, including Suge Knight.
And
the judge said Chris left the county for San Jose without getting the
court's permission, which is a violation of his probation. As for
why the shootings are an issue, they were raised in the probation
report. The judge noted so far there's no evidence Chris was criminally
involved, but the probation officer says, "There is also concern that
when he performs or attends at some of his public events, people will
get shot or seriously injured."
The probation officer also notes Chris has been arrested twice while on probation -- once for assault in DC and also for throwing a rock at
his mom's car in rehab. And the officer notes Chris was "making
comments about knives and guns during a group [rehab] meeting."
The
probation officer -- who thinks Chris is focusing too much on his
career rather than community service and rehabilitation -- recommends to
the judge that Chris serve time. The officer says the singer has shown
"a pattern of making choices that are counterproductive." The
judge will hold a formal hearing March 20. If hizzoner determines Chris
"willfully" violated probation, he could be in big trouble. The
violations are felonies, which means prison is on the line. Culled From TMZ
