Chris Brown sentenced to 1,000 hours labor

A judge revoked Chris Brown’s probation on Friday and gave the singer a new sentence to perform 1,000 hours of community labor. The sentence includes cleaning beaches or highways, removing graffiti or performing other chores assigned by the probation department.

Brown’s current legal problems stem from his arrest four years ago for assaulting former girlfriend, Rihanna.

Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray withdrew a request to repeal Brown’s probation because of a hit-and-run charge that was dismissed in another court on Thursday.

The singer has been in and out of court since pleading guilty to the 2009 assault on Rihanna. Although he has fulfilled the requirements of an earlier order for community labor, he has still continued to have run-ins with the law.

The work that Brown has done previously does not apply to the new sentence. Brown has a year to perform his sentence and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 20 for a progress report.
