Judge orders Chris Brown to stay in Jail.



A judge has ordered Chris Brown to stay in jail until a hearing on 23 April following his arrest at a California rehab centre on Saturday.

This will be his longest time behind bars and is more than five years after he attacked Rihanna.

Reasons for the singer's dismissal from the Malibu facility were detailed in court on Monday.

Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin said he was troubled by a comment Brown made during a group therapy session.

"I am good at using guns and knives," the rehab centre reported Brown had said in response to an exercise asking him to reflect on what he was good at or excelled at.

Rehab workers also said the singer ignored a worker who was waiting to give him a drug test and that he rubbed elbows with a woman when he had signed an agreement to stay at least two feet away from all female clients.

Outside court Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, said the singer had a bad day at the facility and added he didn't think his client should be forced to stay behind bars for another month.

Geragos said he planned to petition to have Brown released before the hearing in April.

Police officials in California said Brown co-operated with officers when he was arrested at the Malibu treatment facility.

The singer had been ordered to remain there for anger management treatment.
