Bobby Brown, the former husband of
the late Whitney Houston, has been sentenced to 55 days in jail after admitting
to driink driving.
Brown pleaded no contest, an admission of guilt under California
law, to driving under the influence and driving on a suspended licence in
October in Los Angeles.
Police said they stopped the singer after seeing him driving
erratically, and that he failed a field sobriety test. It was his second arrest
for drunken driving in 2012.
Brown did not appear in court on Tuesday and his plea was
entered by his lawyer. He must report to jail on March 20.
The New Edition singer was also sentenced to four years'
probation, ordered to install an ignition interlock device and to attend an
alcohol counselling programme.
Brown and Houston divorced in 2007 after 15 years of what
Houston later described as a drug and alcohol-fueled marriage.
Houston drowned accidentally in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub on
February 11, 2012, from the effects of heart disease and cocaine.
