Jail time: Bobby Brown has been sentenced to 55 days in jail following his third drink driving arrest
Bobby Brown is reportedly heading to jail.
The ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston was sentenced to 55 days in prison on Tuesday, according to TMZ.
The 44-year-old was handed down the jail term after being arrested for drink driving for the third time back in October last year.
As well as prison time, Brown was given four years probation and ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol program.
Brown is required to turn himself into the jail facility by March 20 of this year.
In the interim he must attend three Alcoholic Anonymous meetings a week.
Brown pleaded no contest to the charges in court on Tuesday.
Following his arrest last year, Brown denied multiple DUI charges after being pulled over at around 1 a.m. on October 24, 2012 when police believed he was driving erratically in the Tarzana area of Los Angeles.
After the arrest, the Don't Be Cruel star pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol.
The singer maintained his innocence at a Los Angeles court, despite the fact it was the third time he was charged with DUI.
Officers subsequently discovered he was behind the wheel without the dashboard breathalyser he was previously ordered by a court to carry around with him.

Brown was charged with driving under the influence with a refusal to submit to a chemical test, driving with a suspended license due to a conviction of an alcohol offence, and driving a vehicle without an ignition interlock device.
The last two counts are the result of another DUI arrest back in March in the San Fernando Valley.
At the time, Brown received three years' probation and did a spell in rehab after pleading no contest in that case.
