Bobby Brown Goes To Jail
HOT 104.com News Desk
Singer Bobby Brown was arrested by customs agents at the Newark, N.J. airport on Wednesday (May 10) and transported to a Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. jail on an outstanding Florida warrant stemming from an alleged probation violation, according to the Associated Press.
Brown, who was returning from a trip to the Bahamas, has been wanted in Florida since June of last year, when Brown's probation officer reported that the singer's urine tested positive for cocaine use and that the singer refused to be tested again.
Brown, who lives in Mendham, N.J. with wife Whitney Houston, has been on probation for a drunk driving incident where he crashed Houston's sports car into a condominium sign in 1996. The singer is due in Broward County Circuit Court on May 22.
HOT 104.com reported last month ("Whitney's Family Threatens Bobby" April 14, 2000) that Houston's family allegedly threatened to have Brown thrown in jail by informing authorities of his alleged probation violations.
