Singer Bobby Brown was arrested without incident and cooperated fully with officers who booked him on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Brown was booked and released.The arrest occurred at 12:20 p.m. Monday near Victory Boulevard and Wilbur Avenue, according to CHP Officer Mike Harris. Officers pulled Brown over for talking on his cellphone but then administered a field sobriety test, Harris said.
Officials said the arrest occurred without incident and that no illegal items were found in Brown's vehicle.
The arrest comes four days after the Los Angeles County coroner's office released the results of its autopsy on Brown's ex-wife, Whitney Houston.
Houston appears to have used cocaine "in the time period just immediately prior to her collapse in the bathtub at the hotel," L.A. County Chief Coroner Craig Harvey had said. Houston, 48, was determined to have accidentally drowned Feb. 11 after an apparent heart episode with cocaine as contributing factor.
Officials would not say how much of the drug was in her system. But Harvey, the coroner's operations chief, said the toxicology findings "suggested chronic usage" of the drug.
Brown and Houston's 14-year marriage was tarnished by drug abuse, Brown's run-ins with the law and allegations of domestic abuse. It became fodder for the tabloids and entertainment shows and for a year was on display on the reality show "Being Bobby Brown."
