Chris Brown's D.C. assault case has been looming over his head for months, and now it seems that the pop star may be flown from L.A. to attend trial while still under arrest. TMZ obtained documents showing that a D.C. judge has signed an order, releasing Chris Brown into the hands of a U.S. Marshal. 

The L.A. judge has already ordered Brown to stay behind bars until his April 17 D.C. assault trial, but the details were never sussed out on how he was to be transported. The L.A. judge still has to sign off on the order, while Chris' lawyer is claiming that he's more than capable of flying on his own.
