Chris Brown was formally sentenced Tuesday to five years' probation for beating Rihanna. He also was ordered to complete 180 days community labor to be personally supervised by the chief of police in Brown's hometown of Richmond, Va.

He must personally come to court every three months during his probation. The first appearance will be Nov. 19.

He was ordered not to contact Rihanna (including by phone or through a third person) for the next five years. He also must stay 100 yards from her, unless they are both at an entertainment-related event, in which he must stay 10 yards away.

In addition, Brown is subject to search and seizure 24/7 for the next five years and cannot own any dangerous weapon, including guns or knives, according to TMZ.

He must pay $2,500 in restitution, in addition to $2,500 in probation expenses.

At Tuesday's hearing, Brown appeared solemn as he verbally stated he understood and accepted the terms of the probation.

In a plea deal with prosecutors, Brown pleaded guilty in June to assaulting Rihanna following a fight hours before February's Grammys.

In July, Brown has publicly apologized for the incident, saying, "I have told Rihanna countless times, and I am telling you today, that I am truly sorry and that I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better."
