The streets of Virginia are a little cleaner this Wednesday, thanks to embattled R&B crooner Chris Brown. Brown’s court ordered 180 days of community labor began today, and the former heartthrob was photographed cleaning up a horse stable belonging to local police this afternoon.

Brown wore a safety vest with reflective yellow stripes as he was monitored by authorities.

Last month, a Los Angeles judge sentenced the 20-year-old star to 1,400 hours of community labor, a year of domestic violence counseling, and five years probation after he entered a guilty plea in the assault of girlfriend Rihanna last February 8.
