Bobby Brown sentenced to 55 days in jail

SINGER Bobby Brown, former husband of the late Whitney has been sentenced to 55 days in a Los Angeles jail and four years of probation for a drunk-driving case.

City attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan (mah-tell-JIN’) says Brown was sentenced on Tuesday after pleading no contest to charges he was under the influence and driving on a suspended license when he was arrested in October. Brown was on probation for another DUI case at the time.

The 44-year-old “New Edition” singer was ordered to report to jail March 20. He also was placed on four years of informal probation and will be required to complete an 18-month alcohol treatment program. Brown’s attorney Tiffany Feder had no immediate comment on the sentence.
