Chris Brown Bodyguard Convicted Of Assault

D.C. Superior Court Judge Patricia Wynn convicted singer Chris Brown’s bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, of an assault charge Monday morning. Hollosy’s sentencing is scheduled for June 25th and he intends to appeal. Brown’s trial was set for later today, however, has been delayed until next Wednesday.

Brown and Hollosy were arrested in October and were charged with misdemeanor assault after a man said Brown and then Hollosy punched him outside of a hotel in Washington.

Hollosy told authorities that he punched a man, 20-year-old Parker Adams, after he allegedly tried to get onto Brown’s tour bus. Adams had a different story during the trial and claimed that Brown, and later Hollosy, punched him after he attempted to join in on a photo the singer was taking with two women.

Brown denies the claims and states he was inside the tour bus at the time of the alleged attack.

Adams has filed a $3 million lawsuit against both Brown and Hollosy, looking to receive $1.5 million from each defendant. Bernard Grimm, Hollosy’s lawyer, said in court that Adams is “simply trying to get rich” as a result of a bloody nose and “wants to get paid for this incident.”

While there was no evidence that Hollosy hit Adams, the judge said she believed the testimony of a limousine driver who witnessed the incident, saying that both men attacked Adams that night.

The stakes are much higher for Brown’s case if he’s found guilty of misdemeanor assault. If convicted, the same judge in the infamous Rihanna assault case back in 2009 could revoke his probation and sentence him to up to four years in jail.
