Chris Brown Charged With Two Felonies
Chris Brown has been charged with two felonies, including assault likely to cause bodily injury and making criminal threats, by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, according to reports. The 19-year-old singer is expected to appear in court later today (March 5).
Brown was arrested and booked on Feb. 8, following an alleged physical altercation with girlfriend and pop diva Rihanna. The singer left the scene of fight, which reportedly left Rihanna with bruises and bite marks on her body, contusions on her forehead and a swollen lip. Brown was booked under the felony charge of making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail.
While police officials never revealed the name of the alleged victim, TMZ.com posted the court documents that list Robyn Fenty (Rihanna) as the victim. The couple were recently spotted together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' Miami homes and are reportedly reconciling.
If convicted, Brown could face a maximum of four years and eight months in prison.
