Update on Bobby Brown’s DUI
Whitney Houston’s ex-husband Bobby Brown, 43, has checked himself into rehab according to his rep, as part of a plea deal involving the DUI he received this last March. Bobby Brown, an R&B singer checked into an unknown rehabilitation center as part of the plea agreement requiring a 90 day treatment for alcohol abuse.
Brown was pulled over on March 26, 2012 in Reseda for talking on his cell phone while driving. When officers suspected that Brown might be driving under the influence of alcohol, they requested that he take a series of field sobriety tests, which he failed. Spokesman Christopher Brown commented on the singers admittance to a rehab facility saying, “Mr. Brown takes his agreement very seriously and admitted himself three weeks after concluding his honeymoon in Mexico during a break from the New Edition tour”. Brown has also been sentenced to 3 years probation and had a one-day jail sentence, satisfied with time already served.
Bobby Brown has seen his fair share of legal trouble in the past. In 1995, he was arrested on charges of under age prostitution and rape, although, he settled out of court and never spent any time in jail. He also famously wrecked Whitney Houston’s Porsche in 1996 after police found his blood alcohol level to be twice the legal limit. Brown has also been in and out of rehabilitation centers before battling alcohol and drug problems.
