After nearly four months behind bars, Chris Brown was released from Los Angeles county jail early Monday morning (June 2). According to the Associated Press, Brown was released at 12:01 a.m. after being arrested in mid-March on a probation violation tied to his expulsion from a court-ordered rehab facility.

On May 9, Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin sentenced Brown, 25, to serve another 131 days in jail after the singer admitted to violating his probation by getting into a fight outside a Washington, D.C., hotel last year. Brown served a total of 108 days in jail.

Brown had been sentenced to a year in county jail, but Brandlin gave him credit for nearly eight months, including time spent in rehab and jail, as well as for good behavior.

In his most personal tweet in months, Brown thanked God and expressed his pleasure about going home after his long time in lock-up.
