A Los Angeles judge yesterday sentenced Chris Brown to five years of probation and six months of community labor for the beating of Rihanna in February, according to an Associated Press report. Brown was also ordered to stay clear of his ex-girlfriend for five years.
Further details of a probation report issued Tuesday also revealed that Brown was involved in two other violent episodes with Rihanna prior to the beating Grammy night. In one incident Brown put his fist through the window of a rented Range Rover they were driving in Rihanna’s home country of Barbados; in another, Brown shoved Rihanna into a wall.
According to the AP, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence, including an order to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna-the exception being that the pair may interact while attending music industry events.
Neither of those incidents was formally reported to police.
Brown will serve his sentence in his home state - Virginia - and his community labor will be overseen by the police chief in Richmond.

Rihanna needs to stay away from this jerk! The judge is stupid for saying they could still work together at "music industry events." They're both singers-everything they do could be considered a music industry event.
