Bobby Brown Gets 55-day Jail Term For DUI
Wednesday, February 27, 2013Omoba
Singer Bobby Brown, the ex-husband of the late
Whitney Houston, was sentenced to 55 days in jail on Tuesday after admitting to
driving drunk last year.
The singer was sentenced to 55 days in jail after
pleading no contest today to driving under the influence and to driving on a
suspended license (the license is suspended due to a prior conviction for
driving under the influence.)
Brown did not appear in court on Tuesday and his plea was entered by his
attorney. He must report to jail on March 20. The New Edition singer was also sentenced to four
years probation, ordered to install an ignition interlock device and to attend
an alcohol counseling program.
Brown and Houston divorced in 2007 after 15 years of what Houston later
described as a drug- and alcohol-fueled marriage. Houston drowned accidentally
in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub on February 11, 2012, from the effects of
heart disease and cocaine.
