Brown, who dated Rihanna for a year until the assault incident in February, was arrested on Feb. 8 in Los Angeles on suspicion of making criminal threats against his fellow R&B singer Rihanna after a late-night dispute.
In the violent incident that occurred on the night of the Grammy Awards, the 20-year-old singer had attacked his then girlfriend Rihanna.
The singer was charged with the two felony counts- assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury, and making criminal threats, in connection with the alleged altercation with Rihanna.
He pleaded guilty to felony assault in June, and was sentenced in August to five years' probation and six months' community labor.

Brown is sorry for his mistake
While Rihanna speaks publicly for the first time about the incident and her ex beau, Brown has gone public multiple times since then.
He spoke candidly previously in a statement released on YouTube, and also appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" to discuss the things. Recently, he spoke to on New York's Hot 97's Angie Martinez, where he confessed he made a mistake.
"Just be human. Because at the end of the day, I'm human. Of course you're gonna have your thoughts and opinions. I'm not gonna say they're wrong," he told Martinez. "But at the end of the day, it's not right to judge someone. People make mistakes all the time. I'm learning from my mistakes every day and I regret it every second."
Prior to this, he spoke on "Larry King Live" about the incident, saying: "I made a mistake and that's just something I have to live up to and own up to and change and become a better person."
