Chris Brown was finally sentenced yesterday for the violent beating of Rihanna, picking up five years probation and 180 days of community service washing cars and cleaning up graffiti. In light of the sentencing, it's also come to the surface that he had brushes with violence prior to the attack in February.

The first incident allegedly occurred in Europe three months earlier when Brown and Rihanna were in a "verbal dispute." She slapped him, and Brown responded by shoving her into a wall, the report stated.

Just three weeks before his February arrest for beating and threatening his ex-girlfriend after the Grammy Awards, the former couple was in Rihanna's native Barbados. While driving, they had an argument. According to the report, Brown got out and broke both the driver's and front passenger side windows. No one was injured, and the incident was not reported to authorities. (Source)

I have no idea if these previous incidents were permissible in court to have an affect on the judge's ruling, but I at least hope she was able to tack on another year of probation for having that retarded zig-zag shaved into his head. G-A-Y.
