He struck music producer Abraham “Abe” Diaw twice on the head with a tequila bottle; Brown’s friend and vocal coach, Omololu Akinlolu, also took part in the altercation and received a four-month suspended sentence. Judge Tony Baumgartner stressed the seriousness of the attack but considered Brown’s guilty plea and other favorable elements of his record.
