DUET DELAYED

Rihanna burned Chris Brown's letter

R&B singer Chris Brown's probation revoked after DC assault charge

The attorney had argued that extraditing Brown to Washington for his trial would been a long and costly process. He warned that the Washington case could be delayed if Brown was not able to attend.

Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray opposed Brown's release. Her department has repeatedly asked the court to jail Brown for alleged violations of probation, including cutting corners on community service.

Brown's jailing is another mark on a growing rap sheet for the singer, who has so far been able to maintain wide popularity for his music despite a poor image that has included his beating of Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammys and several altercations.

The release of the singer's upcoming duet, "Don't Be Gone Too Long," with 20-year-old Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande has also been delayed in the wake of Brown's jailing, Grande said on Twitter on Monday.

Brandlin had initially sentenced Brown to 90 days in the treatment program in November following his assault arrest in Washington where he allegedly punched and broke the nose of a man who was trying to get a picture with him.

The "Turn Up the Music" singer was ordered last month to stay in the treatment program until his April 17 trial in Washington.

In 2009, Brown was sentenced to five years probation, community labor and domestic violence counseling after assaulting Rihanna in Los Angeles.
