Chris Brown just can’t keep his hands to himself.
The Associated Press is reporting the Grammy award-winner pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor assault for hitting a man outside a Washington, D.C., hotel back in October.
He was sentenced to “time served.”
When Brown was arrested, he was already on probation for attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna before the Grammy Awards in 2009. The incident took place around 4:25 am, when Brown punched a Maryland man with a closed fist, according to police.
Brown was apparently posing with two female fans outside the W Hotel before the altercation occurred. His bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, was also involved.
