R&B singer Chris Brown has tested positive for marijuana, leading a Los Angeles judge on Monday to set a November hearing to decide whether he violated his probation stemming from a 2009 assault on then girlfriend Rihanna.
According to a probation report, Brown tested positive in June in Virginia, where he is fulfilling his community service, Los Angeles superior court judge Patricia Schnegg said. Brown, who is midway through a five-year probation sentence, produced a medical marijuana card after the positive test, the judge said.
The judge said mandatory drug testing was not a condition of his probation but scheduled a hearing to decide if he violated his probation on that and other matters. She reminded Brown he was a role model. – (Reuters)
