The L.A. County District Attorney's
office is accusing Chris Brown of submitting false community service records,
violating his probation in the process.
The D.A. is alleging in legal documents
that Brown may have lied when he claimed he had performed his community service
in the Rihanna
assault case.
Bryan T. Norwood, the Chief of Police in
Richmond, Va., wrote the judge on September 14 to say that Chris Brown
completed 202 days of community service.
He was only required to perform 180.
Sounds great, right? Well ...
Norwood attached documents showing that
Brown worked at Tappahannock Children's Center, where Chris' mom Joyce Hawkins
was once a director.
There, Chris Brown helped with odd jobs
such as painting, washing windows, waxing floors, cutting grass and picking up
trash, according to Norwood.
The D.A. claims Chris and the prior
Chief of Police had a prior relationship, and the judge was apparently suspicious
when the document was filed.
After investigating, the D.A. found no
"credible, competent or verifiable evidence" that Brown actually
completed the 180 days community service.
Incidentally, an administrator told the
D.A. she NEVER saw
him do any work at the center, though Chris' mom often worked
outside of normal business hours.
Sources tell TMZ ... there's no way
Chris could have performed community service on some of the days, because he
was out of the country doing concerts.
The D.A. calls Chris' documentation
"at best sloppy ... and at worst fraudulent" and is asking the judge
to deem Chris' alleged hours insufficient.
Officials want to make him fulfill his
service obligation in L.A. County as a result, and he could face additional
penalties if it's established that he lied.
Brown was placed on five years'
probation for his assault on Rihanna. He avoided jail time on several
conditions, one of which was community service.
We'll see if he has an explanation for
this that a judge buys, or whether he'll be in even more hot water as a result
of trying to cheat the system.
