Chris Brown is headed back to rehab.
On Wednesday (November 20) a Los Angeles judge sentenced the singer to 90 days in a court-approved treatment facility for anger-management issues during a probation status hearing stemming from the 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna, the Associated Press reports. Brown will also reportedly be required to submit to random drug testing and to take doctor-prescribed medication, according to L.A.’s KTLA.
All this just days after Brown completed a two-week stint in rehab for anger-management issues (according to his reps, a voluntary trip) and ordered to complete 24 hours of community service per week. Earlier this year, Brown was ordered to re-do 1,000 hours of community service after the authenticity of his paperwork came into question.
In addition to Brown’s west coast legal woes, the singer was arrested on October 27 in Washington, D.C., after a 20-year-old man accused Brown of punching him in the face outside his tour bus. Both Brown and his bodyguard were arrested in the incident.
Brown was initially charged with felony assault for the altercation, though the offense was later reduced to a misdemeanor. If he is convicted, the incident could prove to be a violation of his probation. While Brown has been instructed not to leave Los Angeles, Judge James R. Brandlin said on Wednesday said that Brown would be allowed to travel for the D.C. hearing if necessary.
Brown’s sixth studio album, X, is expected for an early 2014 release.
