Chris Brown Pulls A Fast One Ahead His Court Case Haring

According to TMZ, Chris Brown pulled a fast one Monday ... turning himself in at an L.A. jail for his hit-and-run case a day ahead of schedule.

Brown showed up at the Van Nuys jail at around 2 PM.  We're told his lawyer, Mark Geragos, engineered it all and the purpose was to make it happen without any photogs present.

Brown was booked and released on his own recognizance no bail.  We're told the whole thing took around 45 minutes.


Now here's what's interesting , Just a few hours earlier, there was a gaggle of photogs at the courthouse which is connected to the jail, because 50 Cent made a court appearance.  When the cameras were gone, Chris appeared.
