Brown faces threat of jail over monkey

SINGER Chris Brown could face jail for not having a permit to own his pet capuchin monkey.

California’s wildlife department seized Fiji after the ex-jailbird posted a video on Instagram of his three-year-old daughter Royalty cuddling it.

Brown, 28, was not at his LA home at the time but staff handed over the pet.

He has since agreed to co-operate but may face a misdemeanour charge, which carries a potential six-month prison sentence.

The R&B star previously served time in jail after flouting the terms of a probation order following a fight in 2013.

And he got five years of probation and six months of community service for beating up his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
