Bobby Brown Denies Drunk Driving Accusations

[NelsonG]

Whitney Houston's ex-husband, Bobby Brown, was arrested in California on Monday (March 26) under suspicion of driving under the influence, but he has since been released from the Van Nuys jail where he was being held. Initial reports claimed that Brown was driving "erratically" while speaking on a cell phone, but a new statement from his lawyer confirms that Brown has not been convicted.

"Everyone is innocent until proven guilty and Mr. Brown was not driving erratically," Brown's attorney  Tiffany Feder told E! News in a statement. "He was speaking on his cell phone. Mr. Brown has not been convicted of anything associated with this incident."

"Mr. Brown is taking this matter seriously and an investigation is under way," Feder added. "The legal process shall run its course."

Brown was stopped by police in Reseda, CA at 12:20PM after he was seen talking on his cell phone. News of his arrest comes just days after a coroner’s report revealed the cause of death for his ex-wife Whitney Houston. His previous run-ins with the law includes a 1996 DUI conviction in Georgia, which landed him 8 days in jail after pleading guilty, in addition to a 2003 arrest for battery and a parole violation charge in 2004 which landed him in jail.

The 43-year-old is the father of Whitney Houston's only child, 19-year-old Bobbi Kristina.
