Chris Brown Reportedly Hit With Criminal Charges For Owning A Pet Monkey

Remember when Chris Brown had his pet monkey Fiji? Now he reportedly has been hit with two criminal charges over the pet monkey.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the Los Angeles City Attorney is reportedly charging Chris with two counts of having a restricted species without a permit. The crime reportedly carries a maximum sentence of six months behind bars.

Chris Brown posted about the pet monkey on social media, but then started catching heat for doing so. People reportedly thought the animal posed a threat to his daughter Royalty, who was 3-years-old at the time.

Law enforcement sources told the site that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife was notified, and an investigation was launched. Chris reportedly did not have a permit for the pet monkey, so authorities obtained a search warrant and planned to raid Chris’ home.

However, Chris voluntarily agreed to surrender the pet.

Chris is now reportedly due in court on February 6th.
