A shook Virginia Councilman today took back every word he said to a TMZ.com reporter about Chris Brown’s community service hard labor.

Councilman Doug Conner told the reporter — in great detail — how the convicted felon and woman beater would report for work at 8 a.m. where he would be bussed to a roadside site to begin pulling up weeds and clearing brush.

Bloggers anticipated the moment when we would see the images of Chris Brown wearing a bright orange reflector vest — sweat dripping from his brow as he toiled in the blazing sun with that dumb expression on his face.

Ah, but it was too good to be true. The Councilman denies saying any of it.

Here is his press release:

“The statements and information ascribed to me yesterday in the article on the celebrity news website TMZ regarding singer Chris Brown are inaccurate and untrue.

I have no personal knowledge of, or information regarding, the singer Chris Brown. In speaking to a TMZ reporter, I simply related my experience with my own individual monthly District Cleanup Project in which I utilize the services of a community service program administered by the Richmond Sheriff’s Office.

Some points I want to make very clear are:
I have no knowledge of any legal arrangements regarding Chris Brown.

Richmond, Virginia does not have a ‘hard labor program.’

Virginia Commonwealth University does not have gang graffiti.

I have no knowledge of any clothing attire regarding the singer Chris Brown.

I have no knowledge of any times or schedules regarding anything to do with the singer Chris Brown.

I have no knowledge of any purported duties regarding the singer Chris Brown.

I have no knowledge of any purported management or supervision regarding the singer Chris Brown.

Richmond does not have a ‘Department of Corrections.’

I am unaware of any purported transportation arrangements regarding Chris Brown.” Read more…
