Chris Brown has been taken into federal custody by U.S. Marshals to be transferred to Washington, D.C., where the pre-trial for his misdemeanor assault case will take place.
Earlier this week, Breezy asked to travel on his own free will but a judge denied the request. Instead, he was taken to San Bernardino County jail, where he will board a federal “Con Air” prisoner aircraft en route to the nation’s capitol. The trip could last up to two weeks as the plane makes stops to other prisons across the country.
The troubled singer, who’s been in a Los Angeles jail since March 14, has serious business to handle in D.C. You may recall he was arrested last October for allegedly fighting outside of the W Hotel (he’s accused of breaking another man’s nose), a big no-no for anyone on probation.
The pre-trial hearing is scheduled for Monday, April 7, however if the charges are not dismissed, he will stay in a District of Columbia jail until the trial officially begins on April 17. If convicted, the “Don’t Judge Me” singer faces a maximum sentence of 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
The root of Brown’s legal troubles started in 2009, after his conviction for the vicious assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna. He was sentenced to five years of probation, six months of community service and a year-long domestic violence class.
Upon his return to California, Brown also has a probation violation hearing waiting for him for getting kicked out of rehab last month.
