Bobby Brown is back in trouble with the law. He has been arrested while driving in Atlanta, charged with the possession of marijuana, no proof of insurance, speeding and no drivers' license. He was granted bail of $1500 for the new charges, but immediately taken to police in DeKalb Country where he was wanted for failing to appear in court back in 1997 when he was charged for driving under the influence, speeding, failing to maintain a lane and having no proof of insurance. There he received a $10,000 bail on the condition he attended court to face the five year old charges later today.
Both Brown and wife Whitney Houston have had drug or alcohol-related legal problems in the past. Brown spent 26 days in a Florida jail in 2000 for violating parole on a 1996 drink-driving conviction by not submitting to a drug test. Houston was charged for marijuana possession in 2000, though her misdemeanour charge was dismissed. All that said, Atlanta police chiefs admitted Brown was in possession of only one ounce of dope when arrested yesterday, and there are no new allegations of drink driving.
