Prosecutors seek to revoke Chris Brown probation amid allegations he 'lied about completing community service hours'

Chris Brown may have 'lied about completing his community service hours' it has been alleged.
Prosecutors have asked a judge to revoke Brown's probation, saying there is no credible evidence he completed his community service sentence for beating Rihanna, and citing several other incidents that they say point to anger management issues with the singer.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office filed a motion on Tuesday which focuses heavily on issues with Brown's community labour in Virginia, citing numerous discrepancies and claiming the R&B singer was essentially unsupervised.

Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in a statement: 'Chris Brown failed to provide "credible or verifiable evidence"' that he completed his court ordered community labour.
But Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos labelled the filing 'frivolous and defamatory', adding that he plans to seek sanctions against prosecutors.
'The motion filed by the DA's office is shameful and a disgrace,' Mr Geragos said. 'In essence, it calls everyone a liar in the Richmond Police Department and the Virginia Probation Department.'
He claimed prosecutors ignored interviews 'where sworn peace officers stated unequivocally that Mr Brown was supervised and did all of the community service.'
He added: 'I plan on asking for sanctions from the DA's office for filing in frivolous, scurrilous and frankly defamatory motion.'

A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office declined to comment on Mr Geragos's statement.
The prosecution's motion also notes several incidents in which Brown lost his temper, including throwing a chair through a window after a Good Morning America interview in which he was asked about his assault of Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards.

The report cites Brown's recent fight with R&B singer Frank Ocean, including Ocean's allegation that Brown 'threatened to shoot him in the brawl over a parking space,' according to a police report of the incident.
Ocean suffered cuts on his right index finger and minor cuts to his left temple.
Police officials say they are unlikely to seek charges against Brown for fight with Ocean, after Ocean posted online that he does not intend to seek criminal or civil penalties.
Judge Patricia Schnegg ordered Brown to perform 180 days of community service after he accepted a plea deal of community labour, five years' formal probation and domestic violence counselling back in 2009.
The new prosecutor's motion asks the judge to order the singer to repeat his entire 180-day service sentence in Los Angeles. Brown had been given permission to perform clean up and manual labour duties in his home state of Virginia.
But LA prosecution investigators claim they found no evidence he completed his work as ordered.

Richmond Virginia police chief Bryan Norwood was tasked with supervising Brown and submitted paperwork last year indicating the singer had completed his sentence.
However, prosecutors allege there are numerous shortcomings and possible misstatements in those records, which show the singer performing double shifts in the city and at a day care centre where his mother once worked.
'This inquiry provided no credible, competent or verifiable evidence that defendant Brown performed his community labour as presented to this court,' Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray writes in the filings.

She alleges that the records submitted by Norwood are 'at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting.'

Richmond police spokesman Gene Lepley declined to discuss the allegations, saying: 'We believe it would be inappropriate to comment on a matter that's before the court.'
According to the motion, officials with Virginia's probation office told investigators that Brown's arrangement to be supervised by Norwood was 'extremely unusual' and had not been approved by the agency. No one from Virginia's probation department oversaw Brown's hours, the filing states.
The motion notes that the only records the department has to indicate Brown was supervised were officers' overtime sheets. But five of 21 days that officers logged overtime for Brown were spent providing security for the singer's concerts.
Around one-third of Brown's community hours were logged at a daycare centre where the singer spent time as a child and where his mother once served as director, it has been reported.
The prosecution motion says a detective checked on Brown on only nine occasions when he was working there. Each time, the singer was found at the centre, accompanied by his mother and a bodyguard but no law enforcement personnel.
The hours Brown recorded as working at the centre were done overnight when children were not present. Some of the records stated Brown waxed floors or did 'general cleaning.'

 

But claims that Brown 'cleaned, stripped and waxed floors' at the location are contradicted by prosecutors.
A professional floor cleaner contracted to work at the daycare centre told investigators he had been cleaning the floors throughout the months Brown reported working at the facility.
The motion states that Brown's mother Joyce Hawkins, no longer had a formal role at the Tappahannock Children's Centre but had her own set of keys and coordinated her son's work at the facility.

The investigation also revealed that while records showed Brown picking up trash in Virginia, he was actually on a private jet to Cancun.

Brown is due in court on Wednesday for a probation hearing.
