The charges against singer Chris Brown and his bodyguard
stemming from a weekend fight were reduced to simple assault misdemeanors
Monday, according to CNN.
The two men, who had spent the previous 36 hours in a Washington jail, entered
a packed courtroom in leg irons and handcuffs, but at the end they were
unshackled and released without bail Monday afternoon.
Brown, 24, was ordered to report to his California probation officer within 48 hours
and to stay at least 100 yards away from the man he is accused of assaulting
early Sunday. Both men must return to court on November 24.
The arrest could have serious legal consequences for Brown
because he is on probation for the felony domestic violence conviction relating
to his 2009 attack on former girlfriend Rihanna.
