Chris Brown was in court earlier this week for a progress report hearing in his felony assault case involving Rihanna more than three years ago.
STORY: Chris Brown Appears In Court Hearing Over Rihanna Felony Assault Case
Prosecutors wanted to know if Brown was keeping an obligation to fulfill his required community service. Well, as it was revealed by the Associated Press, Breezy logged more than 1,400 hours of service!
One-third of those hours were recorded at a rural Virginia daycare center, the same daycare where the singer spent time as a child and his mother once served as director.
As reported by the Associated Press:
And in the last seven months, an AP analysis of the work records indicates Brown’s labor credits increased by four times from what they had been during the previous two years. Yet through it all, Brown hasn’t stopped being an R&B superstar, performing worldwide, releasing an album and even getting injured in a nightclub brawl.
Brown’s service records have come under scrutiny by a prosecutor and a judge, who are trying to ascertain their accuracy. At a Monday hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg called the accounting of Brown’s community service by Richmond, Va., Police Chief Bryan T. Norwood “somewhat cryptic.”
No specific concerns were detailed by the court, yet the AP analysis of Brown’s service shows that in the past seven months, the artist has been credited for working 701 hours – a feat that previously took him 28 months to achieve, clocking sporadic, shorter shifts mostly at Richmond police and fire stations.
In recent months, the logs show Brown has essentially been working three jobs – performing cleanup duty in Richmond police precincts by day, janitorial chores at the daycare 45 miles east by night, and hit songs for global audiences in between.
Ida Minter, the administrator of the Tappahannock Children’s Center, said Brown attended the nonprofit facility “off and on” for more than 12 years and his mother was employed there for 24 years, including as director.
For one, Brown’s work log shows he has put in 1,402 hours, but a couple of errors in the data may push the total up to 1,404. And although Brown was sentenced to perform 1,440 hours of labor, the chief wrote in a letter dated Sept. 14 that Brown had completed all his service hours.
Isn’t it about time we let Chris Brown live his life? He served his time and continues to serve out his sentence, when will we leave him alone?
