Bobby Brown Pleads No Contest to Tarzana DUI Charge

Singer Bobby Brown pleaded no contest Tuesday to charges stemming from his arrest last October for driving under the influence in Tarzana.

Brown -- the former husband of the late pop icon Whitney Houston -- was ordered to surrender March 20 to begin serving a 55-day jail term, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.

Brown also was sentenced to four years probation, ordered to undergo an 18-month alcohol program, to install an ignition interlock device and to attend three AA classes a week.

Brown pleaded no contest, through his attorney, to one count each of driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license, according to the City Attorney's Office.

The charges stemmed from Brown's arrest around 1 a.m. Oct. 25, in which an officer reported observing Brown's Acura sedan being driven erratically in the area of Ventura Boulevard and Corbin Avenue. He was released from jail about 4 a.m. that day.

Brown previously pleaded no contest last April 25 to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge stemming from his March 26, 2012, arrest at Victory Boulevard and Wilbur Avenue in the San Fernando Valley.
