The
D.A. filed legal documents Monday (July 15) with the judge who ruled
over Brown's 2009 conviction seeking to revoke the R&B star's
probation.
He claims that Brown broke the law "willfully and unlawfully"
during a hit-and-run incident in May 2013.
Brown
received a sentence of five years' probation after he assaulted
musician and then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. The D.A. is pursuing him
for a violation after he reportedly left the scene of a car accident in
May without providing a California driver's license and insurance
information to the other driver.
Meanwhile,
Brown has insisted upon his innocence, or at least complicity, in the
accident, since news first broke. On June 25, Brown tweeted "It's not a
hit and run if u get out the car, exchange information (who has NO
DAMAGE to either cars).This is really ridiculous." A few minutes later,
he suggested that the other driver was being opportunistic: "She
contacted the cops thinking of a payday from Chris Brown when I followed
the proper procedures," he tweeted.
Earlier
today, TMZ reported that even the other driver's lawyer will make a
court appearance to support Brown, saying he did in fact provide the
correct information. But if lawyers are unsuccessful in demonstrating
that he followed the law, Brown may face as much as four years of prison
time. Until a hearing on August 18, however, Brown will remain released
on his own recognizance.
Monday
on Twitter, Brown continued to insist upon his innocence, saying, "I
did everything I was suppose to do during the so called hit n run, I
provided the correct info. There were no injuries or damages. C'mon!!"
He sent a shout-out to his fans, with a note of optimism that he will be
exonerated. "Love you Team Breezy. I hope people can actually see the
truth."
