(Gossip-Grind News) Chris Brown Pleads Guilty To D.C. Assault Charge:
R&B superstar Chris Brown accepted a plea deal in his Washington D.C. assault case Tuesday morning. Brown pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for punching a fan seeking a photograph outside of his tour bus last October.
Brown told the judge the judge he just wants this case to go away so he can go on tour. The singer apologized in court, saying the case had derailed his career for the past year.
Prosecutors agreed not to ask for any jail time and agreed to ask the judge to sentence the 25-year-old Grammy winner to probation in exchange for the plea.
“I’m sorry,” Brown said.
Prosecutors said Brown, along with his friend and bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, 36, struck Parker Adams, 25, of Beltsville, Md., after Adams tried to take a picture of himself with the entertainer outside the W Hotel near his tourbus on Oct. 27 following a party during Howard University’s homecoming festivities.
Following a two-day trial in April in which Adams and two other witnesses testified that both Brown and Hollosy struck him, Hollosy was found guilty. Brown was scheduled to go on trial later that month, but the trial was delayed.
But legal troubles for Brown and Hollosy in the District still exist. Adams has filed a $1.5 million civil lawsuit against the men. Adams’s attorney said his client suffered a broken nose and other injuries to his face as a result of the altercation. (Washington Post)
