Bobby Brown released from jail on $5,000 bail after being arrested for DUI

Bobby Brown has been released from jail on $5,000 bail after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Los Angeles.

According to the booking sheet, Bobby Brown, 43, was pulled over Reseda, California at 12:20 PM PST.

While the police documents simply list the crime as a misdemeanor, TMZ reports that Bobby Brown’s blood alcohol level was over 0.08 and he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

After being arrested Bobby Brown was taken to Van Nuys jail when he was booked in at 1:22 PM PST.

The singer was later released on bail after the $5,000 was paid.

Bobby Brown is said to have been drunk at the time of his arrest, with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher.

“We observed intoxication once Mr. Brown was pulled over,” Officer Tiana Reed told RadarOnline.com.

“We put him through four sobriety tests, none of which he passed. He was arrested at 12:20 p.m. and booked into the Van Nuys jail.”

The late Whitney Houston’s ex-husband already has a DUI conviction.

Bobby Brown was arrested in Georgia back in 1996.

He eventually pleaded guilty to DUI and served eight days in jail.

This new incident comes amidst reports that Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were planning to remarry.

A source close to the couple, Derrick Handspike told the National Enquirer: “Bobby told me, <<The world may have thought we were history, but the reality is we were never really apart. We’ve never stopped loving each other.>>”

Derrick Handspike also said that Bobby Brown, who is engaged to Alicia Etheridge, told him: “I could have saved her! If I had been with Whitney, she never would have died in that hotel bathtub. I would have never left her alone!”

It’s claimed that Bobby Brown father’s death drew the estranged couple back together, and they were pictured enjoying dinner together in LA with their 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina with daughter just a couple of nights before Whitney Houston’s death.
