Open Yahoo News Open SearchCancel Rehab: Brown threw rock through moms car window .Associated Press By ANTHONY McCARTNEY 9 hours agoLOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge ordered Chris Brown on Wednesday to spend three months in rehab after reading a report that said a facility discharged the R&B singer because he threw a rock through his mothers car window.Superior Court Judge James Brandlin also added additional rules for Brown in the coming months, requiring him to perform at least 24 hours of community labor a week and to submit to drug testing as he deals with anger management issues.Brown and his attorney agreed to the terms, which were suggested by probation officials who are overseeing Browns sentence for his 2009 beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna.The Grammy winner threw a rock through his mothers car window Nov. 10 after a joint counseling session in which she suggested the singer remain in treatment, according to a letter submitted by the rehab facility. The facilitys name was not included in court filings.Mr. Brown proceeded to walk outside and pick up a rock and threw it through his mothers car window and it shattered, the letter states. Brown was discharged because he had signed a contract agreeing to refrain from violence while in treatment..The singer voluntarily checked into rehab for anger management treatment Oct. 29, just days after he was arrested in Washington, D.C., after a man accused Brown of punching him after he tried to get in a photo with the singer.The incident and the resulting misdemeanor assault charge could still trigger a probation violation that could lead to more sanctions against Brown.Brandlin ordered probation officials to collect more details on the Washington arrest and report back to him before a Dec. 16 hearing. A prosecutor did not seek any revocation of Browns probation at Wednesdays hearing but said she was awaiting more details.Brown is due to appear in a Washington, D.C., court Monday. Brandlin allowed the singer to travel for the hearing, but his ruling makes clear that the expectation for the singer for the next few months is to receive treatment and perform community labor such as graffiti removal or roadside cleanup.Browns probation report states the singer has said he wants treatment for his anger management issues. He reported being depressed after being ordered to re-do 1,000 hours of community service earlier this year after a hit-and-run incident. Prosecutors had raised questions about whether he performed his sentence as instructed..Brown has performed 20 hours so far, according to the report. An officer expressed concern that the singer wouldnt complete his assignment if Brown was not required to perform at least 25 hours of work per week.The singer appeared in court Wednesday with his girlfriend Karrueche Tran and only spoke once to acknowledge he agreed to the terms imposed by the judge. His mother, who has attended many of her sons court hearings, did not attend Wednesdays proceedings.At the request of Browns attorney, Mark Geragos, Brown was also ordered to take any medications his doctor prescribed.___Anthony McCartney can be reached at twitter/mccartneyAP .View Comments (123) Recommended for You Indonesians burn Australian flags over spying reports Reuters50 mins ago Learn the Difference Between APR and Effective APR AdChoicesBetter Money HabitsSponsored Hong Kong domestic workers treated as slaves: Amnesty AFP52 mins ago Maybank posts highest-ever quarterly profit as SE Asia drive pays off Reuters Senate nears possible vote on curbing filibusters Associated Press Texas investigators dig for leads in shooting of 5 Associated Press Iran, powers to thrash out nuclear deal AFP26 mins ago Hydrogen cars could be headed to showroom near you Associated Press Kennedy cousin Skakel poised for prison release Associated Press Relief effors ramping up for tornado victims | Washington IL tornado survivors to dig through wreckage WLS – Chicago US Surgeon Gets Suspended Sentence in Australia ABC News Karzai says doesnt trust U.S., but needs security pact Reuters US Navy commander in court over bribery scandal AFP BC-FBN--Super Bowl 2014,ADVISORY, FBN ABC News See the Secret Price on New Cars in Texas AdChoicesCarPriceSecretsSponsored Newly restored Catacombs of Priscilla (15 photos) Libya MP says grenade in her bag was for self-defence AFP Nigerian city fears Islamist cells after hostage drama AFP Shaggs Singer Turns Noise Back up With Solo Album ABC News Neighbors in shock over massacre of Mexico family Associated Press Iraq bombers target cafe Reuters Videos Canadian PMs ex-top aide accused of bribery, fraud AFPLoad more stories
