Chris Brown Tweets a Pic of Himself Starting Community Service

R 'n' B singer Chris Brown has, on Wednesday, September 16, kicked off his community service for assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna during an altercation back in February. And he took it to his Twitter account soon thereafter to post a picture of him on duty cleaning the grounds in and around a Virginia police horse stable.

In the shot, Chris was seen wearing a white top under an orange vest which was combined with black-colored pants. Besides, he also sported a red baseball cap and a pair of matching gloves. Judging from the picture, which showed Chris standing in between branches, it seemed he had just cut down trees.

On the same day he was about to begin his 180 days of community service, Chris tweeted "on my way to community service..."

Chris Brown has been placed in five years probation and ordered to complete 180 days of community service in his home state Virginia in lieu of jail time as a consequence for beating Rihanna. His community service chief tasks will also include washing cars and cleaning up graffiti from walls.

Chris, additionally, is required to complete a year of domestic violence classes and pay fines. He is also ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna.
