Chris Brown, kicked out of rehab for 'acting violently,' ordered to new facility

Chris Brown was
booted from a rehab facility this month
after smashing his mother's car window
during a family session, his probation
officer reported Wednesday.
The judge overseeing Brown's probation
in his Rihanna beating case ordered the
singer to immediately enter another
rehab program and stay for 90 days.
Brown, who was arrested on an assault
charge in Washington, D.C., last month,
still faces a possibly probation violation
charge that could send him to prison.
"There is much concern with the
probationer's new arrest and his violent
outburst that resulted in his discharge
from a treatment facility," the probation
report said.
The singer sat nervously in a Los Angeles
County courtroom, holding girlfriend
Karrueche Tran's hand as he waited while
his lawyer, Mark Geragos, met privately
with the judge and prosecutor before his
hearing began Wednesday afternoon.
Brown's freedom has been in question
since he was arrested on a sidewalk near
the White House after allegedly punching
a man.
The probation imposed when he pleaded
guilty to a felony charge in the 2009
attack on Rihanna -- his girlfriend at the
time -- requires that he stay out of legal
trouble.
The lawyers and judge emerged from
chambers with a deal, which required
Brown to spend the next 90 days in a
court-approved treatment facility.
Los Angeles County Deputy District
Attorney Mary Murray told the judge she
still reserved the right to ask for Brown's
probation to be revoked on the D.C.
arrest.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge
James Brandlin ordered the probation
officer to provide a detailed report about
that incident, with that report expected
to be presented when Brown returns to
court on December 16.
Brown voluntarily entered a rehab center
on October 28, a day after he was
released from a Washington jail.
"His goal is to gain focus and insight into
his past and recent behavior, enabling
him to continue the pursuit of his life and
his career from a healthier vantage
point," representative Nicole Perna said
when he entered.
When he checked out on November 10
his representative said he would continue
in the program as an outpatient.
However, the probation report given to
the judge Wednesday disputed that,
saying he was kicked out of the program.
It quoted a center official saying he was
ordered out for "breaking programs rules
by acting violently."
The violence involved Brown "throwing a
rock through his mother's car window"
after a family session at the center in
which she said she wanted him to stay in
the treatment.
"Mr. Brown preceded to walk outside and
pick up a rock and threw it through his
mother's car window and it shattered,"
according to letter from the rehab center
included in the probation report.
Brown's "prognosis is very guarded"
unless he gets professional help, the
letter said,
Brown will leave the new rehab center
three days a week to work eight-hour
shifts of community labor so that he can
complete the 1,000 hours of work still
remaining in his punishment for the
attack on Rihanna. The report estimated
he will have to work on community labor
three days of every week until next
August to meet his deadline.
He may also travel to Washington for a
court hearing Monday in the assault case
there, the judge said. His lawyer said he
would try to get the hearing delayed.
