Brown’s latest legal trouble follows multiple run-ins since his arrest for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, for which he served six years probation that ended in March 2015. In May, Brown was sued by a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by a pair of Brown’s associates while at a party in the singer’s house in February 2017. He was arrested in July for an outstanding felony battery charge, which stemmed from an April 2017 incident in Tampa, Florida, where Brown was accused of punching a photographer.
