Chris Brown has finally caught a break. After nearly six years, the singer’s felony probation over his 2009 assault on Rihanna has come to a close.

According to TMZ, the probation officer submitted a glowing report to the judge and was satisfied with his excuse for traveling to San Jose for a concert in January.
Brown had been on probation after pleading guilty to attacking his ex-girlfriend Rihanna hours before the 2009 Grammy Awards. He spent two-and-a-half months in jail after he was arrested for hitting a man outside a Washington hotel in October 2013.
Breezy, who wrapped his “Between the Sheets Tour” with Trey Songz on Thursday night, celebrated the good news, tweeting, “IM OFF PROBATION!!!!!!!! Thank the Lord!!!!!!”
