Why did Chris Brown go to jail on Friday?
Chris Brown was arrested on Friday in Malibu for a probation violation warrant, via the Lost Hills Sheriff's Department. According to a report, the arrest came after he was allegedly thrown out of rehab.
The 24-year-old R&B star is reportedly under a judge's order that he would go to jail if he left rehab. Brown has been living at a Malibu rehab facility for nearly four months and was allegedly thrown out for violating "internal rules." According to Brown's booking sheet, the warrant was issued related to assault with a deadly weapon and criminal threats crimes which occurred on February 7, 2009, in the City of Los Angeles.
According to the police report, Brown was "cooperative when taken into custody" and is being held without bail at the Los Angeles County jail. ET has learned that a court date has been set for Monday at 8:30 a.m.
The rehab stint is for anger management therapy following the Rihanna assault case. The judge initially sentenced Brown to 90 days at the facility, but the order was later modified to require Brown to remain at the facility longer.
