I still can't believe he hooked up with Whitney. I guess, they deserved each other.
Here is what was just released:
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Singer Bobby Brown is in the Atlanta municipal jail after an arrest early Thursday on drug and traffic charges.
Brown, 33, has been charged with possession of an ounce of marijuana, no proof of insurance, speeding and no drivers' license, according to an officer at the jail who gave her name as Rolfe.
Brown, the husband of singer Whitney Houston, is also wanted in neighboring DeKalb County on a five-year-old warrant stemming from a 1996 arrest. According to the DeKalb County court system, Brown was charged with driving under the influence, no proof of insurance, failure to maintain lane and speeding on April 22, 1996.
After a flurry of legal activity from Brown's attorneys and local media stations that wanted to tape the proceedings, the singer's arraignment was put on the February 3, 1997, docket. But State Court Judge Wayne Purdom refused to hear Brown's plea in abstentia and continued the proceedings until February 14.
When Brown failed to show then, Purdom issued a bench warrant and Brown forfeited a $1,260 bond.
Brown has been arrested several times since leaving the 1980s singing group New Edition.
In January 1998, Brown was convicted in Florida of two misdemeanors: driving under the influence of alcohol and property damage. Brown crashed his wife's sports car into a condominium sign. He served five days in jail and was released on probation.
In May 2000, the singer was arrested by U.S. Customs agents in New Jersey after he and Houston returned from a trip to the Bahamas.
The arrest stemmed from an outstanding warrant accusing him of violating probation in the Florida drunken-driving case. The warrant had been issued nearly a year earlier, in June 1999, after Brown's probation officer reported that evidence of cocaine had been found in his urine test.
