Singer Chris Brown has had his drug testing reduced from three times a week to two after he managed to impress a judge with a positive probation report.
Brown appeared in court here Wednesday for a progress report on his probation and the hearing was told all his random drug tests were negative and he had been attending bi-weekly therapy sessions, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
As a result of his positive report, the judge agreed to a request from the 25-year-old singer's lawyer to have his drug testing reduced from three times a week to two.
While Brown - who was placed on probation for five years and sentenced to six months community service for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 - hasn't spoken directly about his good report, he made fans aware of the situation.
He retweeted a post from CNN reporter Alan Duke which read: "Judge just praised @chrisbrown for a good probation report, noting he's tested negative on all drug tests since release from jail."
The "Run it" star will next appear in court for a probation hearing on Oct 23 and his probation comes to an end in January 2015.
Brown was released from jail June 2 after spending two months behind bars for allegedly making threats about using guns while seeking anger management treatment in rehab.
