LOS ANGELES, May 9 (UPI) -- Grammy winning R&B singer Chris Brown, infamous for savagely beating the pop-star Rihanna—his then-girlfriend—hours before the 2009 Grammy awards, admitted to violating his probation during a court appearance today and was sentenced to additional jail time.
Brown was involved in altercation last October outside a hotel in Washington, D.C., where the singer faces misdemeanor assault charges after a man accused Brown of striking him.
