Chris Brown Slapped With Level One Protective Order Against Rihanna

Protective order sworn out against Chris Brown - see full size version @ ETOnline



Basically it tells him to behave himself, and limits him to nonviolent forms of personal interaction. It's called a Level One Protective Order, and unlike a restraining order allows some contact with the protected person. However Chris may not annoy, harass or molest Ms Fenty - that would put a strain on most romantic relationships right there! Rihanna is also permitted by the court to 'record' any interactions they have (ie tape phone calls) for her own protection and possible use later in court. I assume that's why Rihanna or her lawyer asked for a Level One, instead of the more standard restraining order. In other words this show ain't over, and the next scene is gonna be on tape or video!



In addition to the court mandated gentlemanly conduct, Chris is also required to dispose of any firearms in his possession within 24 hours. It also forbids him from contacting any witnesses or other participants in the case, with the intention of influencing them.

More Rihanna and Chris Brown docs over @ Extra, and of course old reliable The Smoking Gun.

PS: Rihanna's attorney Donald Etra is now stating that Ms Fenty herself refused a restraining order - barring Brown from any contact - in favour of a level one.
