Bobby Brown jailed for 55 days over DUI

Bobby Brown has turned himself over to Los Angeles authorities being jailed on Wednesday morning.

Bobby Brown, 44, was ordered to turn himself in following his most recent driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.

The singer was taken into custody inside a courtroom, where he appeared with his attorney Tiffany Feder, according to TMZ.

Bobby Brown was sentenced to 55 days in prison and 4 years probation late last month after being arrested and charged for his third DUI in October 2012.

He was on probation at the time following another drink driving incident last March and was ordered to undertake an 18-month alcohol treatment programme.

After missing his original court date last month in Los Angeles, where his attorney stated his plea was “not guilty”, Bobby Brown was ordered to attend three Alcohol Anonymous (AA) meetings per week until his hearing on Wednesday.

Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston divorced in 2007 after 15 years of marriage, which Whitney previously described as “stormy” and drug-filled.
