A judge has ruled that Chris Brown does not need to travel to Washington, D.C. to appear in court regarding the misdemeanor assault charge he is facing there.
Washington D.C. Superior Judge Robert Tignor said (November 22) that Chris Brown does not need to travel to Washington from Los Angeles in order to appear in court Monday (November 25), as per billboard.com.
Thus, Brown is allowed to waive his scheduled court appearance Monday, according to billboard.com.
The singer’s lawyers told Tignor that they thought Brown did not need to check out of rehab in Los Angeles and fly to Washington given that they would be requesting a new court date Monday, billboard.com says.
Earlier this week, Brown was ordered to spend 90 days in live-in anger management rehab, according to tmz.com.
The singer is facing a misdemeanor assault charge from an incident last month which began when Brown was reportedly approached at approximately 4:30 am by two women who wanted to take a picture with him in front of the W Hotel in Washington, D.C., according to law enforcement, as per TMZ. When two men attempted to get into the photo, Brown allegedly used a gay slur before allegedly throwing a punch at the alleged victim, as per TMZ.com.
Brown was initially facing a felony assault charge, but it was reduced to a misdemeanor from a felony, according to TMZ.com.
