In 2013, Brown and his bodyguard were arrested and charged with felony assault after an alleged altercation outside a hotel in Washington D.C. The charge was reduced to a misdemeanor in court the next day, and Brown was released from jail without bail.
He was hit with a probation violation in March 2014 for being booted from the rehab facility, and a judge put him in jail. In May of that year, while he was still incarcerated, he pleaded guilty to a probation violation stemming from Washington fight.
He was released from jail in June 2014, and about three months later, he pleaded guilty in the Washington fight and was sentenced to time served — one day in a prison — and a $150 fine.
