The talented artist followed orders to turn himself in by
August 6 over an alleged hit-and-run last May
Could Chris Brown finally be growing up? After taking
down his controversial home murals to avoid an impending fine by the L.A.
Building Department of Safety, the R'n'B/hip-hop superstar now follows orders
to turn himself in at a Van Nuys, California jail one day before the set deadline
over an alleged hit-and-run offense he incurred back in May.
Brown arrived at 2 P.M. on Monday, August 5, a day ahead
of schedule to avoid the media who were already tipped off regarding the August
6 deadline. He was booked and released on his own recognizance just 45 minutes
later.
The police station visit was apparently a trade-off for
him not being arrested on the scene when the road incident took place. The
singer has pleaded not guilty to the hit-and-run charges and has since escaped
two misdemeanor charges filed against him by the L.A. District Attorney's
office, the driving without a valid license and proof of insurance offenses
against him having been dismissed.
His next court date is set for August 15 to address the
hit-and-run allegations. If he is found guilty, he could face up to four years
in prison. He is also set to appear in a probation violation hearing, the
probation he was sentenced to after being convicted for battery charges
following an assault on his then girlfriend Rihanna back in 2009.
