Chris Brown may be able to avoid a probation violation by settling with his DC victim in the form of a LARGE payout. Months ago Chris was allegedly involved in the assault of a DC man. If convicted, this could be a violation of his probation stemming from his 2009 Rihanna assault. A settlement however, could have the entire case dropped and a four year jail stint dodged for Breezy.

Sources connected with the D.C. assault case tell TMZ … Chris’ lawyer, Mark Geragos, has contacted the lawyer for the man who claims Chris assaulted him in D.C., breaking his nose, and offered him a BIG FAT CHECK.
We’re told Geragos is gunning for a civil settlement … which could very well mean the broken nose guy would tell prosecutors he no longer has an interest in pursuing the criminal case. And our sources say prosecutors are aware of the civil settlement negotiations.
We’re told Geragos may have already sealed the deal but if not … it should be done in a day or 2.
So here’s the likely resolution. The alleged victim gets a ton of money (our educated guess is several hundred thousand dollars), D.C. prosecutors drop the criminal assault case and the Rihanna judge then lets Chris out of jail either late this week or early next.
I don’t doubt one second that Chris Brown will pay up to get out of this mess. Although he could still be facing a probation violation for getting kicked out of rehab, the dismissal of this assault case could be a huge victory.
