Chris Brown may not enjoy being in jail, but it seems as though he was unable to reach a plea deal with prosecutors because of his own pride!
Brown was arrested last October outside of the W hotel in Washington D.C. and charged with misdemeanor assault for reportedly hitting a fan who was trying to take a picture of him. At the time of the alleged altercation, Brown was on probation for his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Apparently neither side could agree on what Brown would acknowledge happened last year. Prosecutor Kevin Chambers said Brown was offered a deal to plead guilty to simple assault and time served in the Washington case, but the troubled R&B star's lawyer Mark Geragos said after the hearing, "They wanted him to read from a script that wasn't true."
Brown was released from jail earlier this month after serving 108 days behind bars, and he still has to complete around 800 hours of court-mandated community service.
Brown's trial is scheduled for September 8.
