According to the AP, the 20-year-old R&B singer worked alongside others with similar sentences cleaning up the area by hand and with yard tools. Although a few curious fans stopped by to see Brown work, there was by no means the scene that some officials had expected. Brown, who was wearing a white tank top, orange vest, baggy jeans and red cap, stopped to wave at fans while he was working.
Brown’s schedule, including work hours and days, will be flexible, and he will be performing different types of manual labor, according to a Richmond police spokesperson. Brown will also undergoing counseling in Richmond, which is near his home in Montpelier, Virginia.

Wait, so this guy admitted to beating his girlfriend, and his punishment is clearing weeds from a horse stable? That does not seem fair. This guy is 20, not 12, he should be treated like an adult-- not grounded like a toddler.
