Chris Brown is currently sitting in jail awaiting trial for his D.C. assault case on April 17, but that may all change if he ponies up some serious loot, reports TMZ.
According to sources connected with the case, Breezy's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has contacted the lawyer for the man Brown allegedly assaulted in D.C. and offered to settle the case with money; TMZ estimates the amount to be several hundred thousand dollars.
A civil settlement would mean the alleged victim tells prosecutors he's no longer interested in pursuing the criminal case. If the settlement goes through, prosecutors would drop the criminal case and the judge in the Rihanna assault case would let Chris out of jail either this week or early next, since he would no longer be in possible violation of his probation.
