Chris Brown was complimented for his conduct by a judge at a progress report hearing at court in Los Angeles on Wednesday

He has struggled in the past to curb his behaviour after a spell in jail.
But Chris Brown was told by a judge he was doing well and following his probation rules at a Los Angeles court on Wednesday.

The puffy-faced R&B star looked serious as he made a personal appearance for a progress report looking into his conduct since being freed from jail in June.

Good boy: Chris Brown was complimented for his conduct by a judge at a progress report hearing at court in Los Angeles on Wednesday

However it was all good news for the Say Goodbye favourite, with Judge James Brandlin reducing the 25-year-old's drug test requirement from three times to twice a week.
The convicted woman beater was also complimented on the fact he has been in compliance with his probation officer and cooperating with his therapist.
Unfortunately, while the probation department asked that his community labour requirement be increased from three days a week to four,  the request was denied.
Chris was looking smart but casual for his appearance, and was wearing a plaid shirt, T-shirt, jeans and made sure he added a touch of bling to his ensemble by donning a golden necklace.

That's a relief: The singer was told he would be facing less drug tests while also not having to do more

A job well done: Surely Chris Brown will have complimented his attorney Setara Qassim on how things went

 

The hot-tempered star was put behind bars from mid-March until early June for violating his probation by getting into a fight outside a Washington, D.C., hotel last year.
He was on probation after he attacked pop singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, before the 2009 Grammy Awards
The Barbadian beauty took a restraining order out against the singer after he was charged with assault after hitting her at a pre-show party in.
The vicious attack, which led to her being hospitalised, led to him receiving five years of probation.
However they ended up reconciling, and even dated again for a while back in 2012 before splitting again the following year.

Free man: The R&B favourite will be able to indulge in crisps and fizzy drinks for the foreseeable future

And off he goes: No doubt he was relieved he would be getting tested less for drugs in future
