Chris Brown pleaded guilty today to hitting a man outside a Washington hotel. The assault happened while the singer was on probation for attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault on September 2 and was sentenced to two days in a Washington jail. The Grammy-winning singer was arrested in October 2013. The victim told police Brown hit him after he tried to get in a picture the singer was taking with two women.
Brown had previously pleaded not guilty in the case. His trial had been set for April, but it was delayed.
At the time of his Washington arrest, Brown was on probation in a felony assault case in California for attacking then-girlfriend, Rihanna, before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
The outcome of his Washington case had potential repercussions in California. During a court hearing in May, a Los Angeles judge sentenced Brown to serve an additional 131 days in jail. He was released in June.
