Chris Brown has tested positive for marijuana, leading an LA judge yesterday to set a November hearing to decide whether the singer violated his probation for his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.
According to a probation report presented in court, Brown tested positive in June in Virginia, where he is fulfilling his community service, Judge Patricia Schnegg said.
Brown, who is midway through a five-year probation sentence, produced a medical marijuana card after the positive test.
Schnegg said mandatory drug testing was not a condition of Brown’s probation. But she scheduled a Nov. 1 hearing to decide whether he had violated his probation on that and other matters, including travel restrictions and fulfillment of his community service.
Schnegg gave Brown, 23, a warning: “A lot of people look up to you, a lot of kids. What you do and what you say impacts a lot of people.”
