Chris Brown has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats almost a month after the singer assaulted his girlfriend singer Rihanna. Chris Brown has not yet entered a plea and his arraignment will continue April 6.

If found guilty, Chris Brown faces a sentence that could range from probation to up to four years in prison. He is currently free on $50,000 bail. Brown was arraigned this afternoon in Los Angeles Superior Court. Brown's next court date is April 6.

Los Angeles Police arrested Brown on Sunday, Feb. 8, the same day of the Grammy Awards, on allegations that he had beaten Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.

According to Entertainment Weekly an affidavit states that the dispute between Rihanna and Chris Brown started when Rihanna became upset over a text message he received from another woman. It was allegedly three pages long. It has also been reported that Brown shoved Rihanna's head into the window of his rented Lamborghini and that he also punched and bit her while making threats to beat her when they got home.

There has been no word on Rihanna's whereabouts during Chris Brown's court appearance. The two have reportedly gotten back together. You can read a recap of that story here: Rihanna and Chris Brown Are Back Together Following Domestic Violence Incident.
