Chris Brown faces possible jail time after a judge revoked his probation Monday in connection with his conviction in the beating of his girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown's alleged failure
to hand over his drivers license and insurance information to another
driver after a minor traffic crash in May triggered the probation
revocation, but the singer will remain free until a trial is held.
Brown, 24, was already
facing a probation violation trial after prosecutors accused him of not
completing the community labor ordered for his 2009 felony assault
conviction.
A representative for Brown, however, said the singer expects the traffic charges to be dropped and probation reinstated.
A lawyer for the other
driver said in a court hearing Monday morning "that his client did not
want to press charges, that any damage was "negligible" and that Chris
did identify himself at the scene and that she was given all of the
appropriate insurance information," the Brown rep said in a statement to
CNN Monday evening.
"We are hopeful that the case will be dismissed next week," the rep said.
A woman whose Mercedes
was allegedly rear-ended by a Range Rover that Brown was driving on a
Los Angeles street told investigators that he "went ballistic" after the
traffic accident and screamed at her.
According to the police report on the incident, the other driver, Olga Gure, quoted Brown as shouting at her: "You are a b---h!"
