Chris Brown was taken into custody by U.S.
marshals on Wednesday, March 2, U.S.
Marshals Service spokesperson Laura Vega
explained on Thursday. Brown then will be
transported to Washington D.C. for a
misdemeanor assault trial, but Vega refused to
provide more info of the trip.
As reported by The Associated Press, Los
Angeles Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin
decided that sending Brown to Washington
would be "the most expeditious and
convenient method for all parties" as Brown
battled his legal trouble. The singer's lawyer
Mark Geragos previously filed a motion to
block Brown's transfer to federal custody,
arguing that it would hurt his client's ability to
prepare for the court battle. The judge
dismissed the motion despite Geragos'
statement that he would send Brown to
Washington himself.
Brown, who was in probation because of
assault case related to Rihanna , was arrested in
late October for allegedly hitting a man outside
a hotel in Washington D.C. A pretrial hearing
for the assault case is scheduled for April 7.
The 24-year-old singer recently took some
time to thank fans for their support amid the
legal drama. "I'm calling all my fans, letting
ya'll know I love ya'll. Thank ya'll for all the
support. Thanks for everything. The video just
came out so I hope ya'll enjoyed that," Brown
said in a phone call to on-and-off girlfriend
Karrueche Tran, referring to the music video of
"Loyal" which was released in late March.
