Bobby Brown Avoids Criminal Drug Charges
BROCKTON, Mass. — Singer Bobby Brown will not face any criminal charges after police said they found a small amount of cocaine in his possession, but has agreed to a year’s community service.
Brown’s attorney said Tuesday that a court clerk magistrate found no probable cause to issue a criminal complaint, but recommended that Brown volunteer to mentor young people, which Brown wanted to do anyway.
Attorney Jeff Denner said that if no other issues arise over the next year, the matter will be struck from the docket.
Police responding to a disturbance at a Brockton hotel on Dec. 1 said they found the 39-year-old Brown sitting in an SUV in the parking lot, with cocaine in his possession.
Brown is the former husband of singer Whitney Houston and stars in the CMT Network show “Gone Country.”
