Chris Brown In Jail 2014: R&B Singer To Serve 131 Days In Jail, Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder And PTSD

Chris Brown is going to jail again. On Friday the R&B singer admitted that he violated his  probation over a fight last year outside a hotel in Washington, D.C. At the time, he was sentenced to remain on probation and serve an additional 131 days in jail.

Brown appeared in court on Friday and admitted he committed a crime in Washington D.C. last October.

Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin sentenced Brown to serve a year in county jail but gave him credit for the eight months of time he has already served. The credits include time the Grammy winner has spent in rehab and jail.

Brown has been in custody since mid-March, when he was arrested after being dismissed from a court-ordered rehab sentence.

Brown faces a misdemeanor assault charge in Washington after a man accused the singer of hitting him outside a hotel in the nation's capital.

Brown responded "Yes sir," when Judge Brandlin asked him whether he was acknowledging he committed a crime in Washington.

Brandlin said Brown will have to complete the remainder of his 1,000 hours of community labor once he is released from jail.

Brown, 24, was originally placed on probation for his 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend Rihanna hours before the Grammy Awards.

It was recently revealed that Brown has undiagnosed mental illnesses. Doctors at the rehab center said that Brown suffers from bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and severe sleep deprivation according to People. He told Giant Magazine back in 2007 that his stepfather used to beat his mom, which "terrified" him and made him want to kill his stepfather with a baseball bat.

A report from the rehab center where Brown was previously staying said that Brown needs close supervision by his doctor "to ensure his bipolar mental health condition remains stable. It is not uncommon for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder and Bipolar II to use substances to self-medicate their biochemical mood swings and trauma triggers. Our clinical team believes Mr. Brown became aggressive and acted out physically due to his untreated mental health disorder, severe sleep deprivation, inappropriate self-medicating and untreated PTSD."
