As you may
have heard, Chris Brown recently headed back to jail after being kicked
out.....of his second rehab facility for touching the hands and elbows of a
woman, refusing a drug test and making "harsh comments" about the
program during a group session. He's currently on 23-hour lockdown in a
Los Angeles cell.
Although
he was expected to spend at least a month locked up, it looks like
Brown may be released early if he plays his cards right. According to
TMZ, Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has been back-channelling, and may be
able to spring his client if they're able to reach a settlement in a
recent Washington, DC mindemeanor assault case. As always, money is the
answer.
Geragos
has apparently contacted the plaintiff, Parker Adams, and offered him a
settlement check, the latter having filed a $3 million lawsuit against
Brown and his bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, for punitive damages.
Brown allegedly broke Adams' nose back in November after he photo-bombed
a Kodak moment with two women outside a hotel. (Geragos previously
rejected a plea deal for the incident.)
If
the settlement doesn't pan out, the assault trial could result in a
probation violation in Brown's Rihanna case, which could land him in
prison for four years. Stay tuned for updates on this, folks.
