Chris Brown could face jail time for owning a pet monkey.

It appears that the singer did not obtain a permit to own the baby capuchin monkey called Fiji.

Brown was forced to give up ownership of the monkey after people viewing his photos and videos on his social media account reported him to the authorities.

At that time, his lawyer, Mark Geragos, said: “As I leave my office in Downtown LA and walk past people sleeping on the street on my way to defend people charged by the City Attorney with selling medical marijuana… now spending taxpayer money on investigating monkey business, this completes the circle on his absurdity.”

According to reports, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office has charged Brown with 2 counts of owning a restricted species without a permit. The maximum sentence for the charge is 6 months in jail.

The star is due in court for sentencing on 6 February 2019.
