Whitney Houston’s ex-hubby Bobby Brown was arrested and hauled to jail Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence in Southern California.
The singer, 43, was pulled over around 12:05 p.m. in the San Fernando Valley, about two miles from his Encino residence, according to the California Highway Patrol.
“He was driving and talking on his cell phone,” Officer Tiana Reed told the Daily News. “Officers, when contacting him, noted intoxication on him — the smell of alcohol — and they performed some field sobriety tests.”
She said Brown was arrested at 12:20 p.m. and booked into a Los Angeles Police Department jail in Van Nuys.
“I don’t have any comment,” Brown’s fiancĂ© Alicia Etheredge told the News when contacted on her cell phone shortly after the incident.
The arrest comes less than a week after county officials revealed that Houston had cocaine in her system at the time of her accidental drowning death in a hotel bathtub Feb. 11.
