Bobby Brown Arrested Again; Ordered Held In Jail

Bobby Brown has been ordered held in a Massachusetts jail until he can come up with $19,000 in back child support payments, Access Hollywood has learned.

For the second time in a year, Bobby Brown has been arrested while in town to watch his daughter at a cheerleading competition.

Brown was picked up at Attleboro High School on Sunday night on a warrant for failing to appear at a child support hearing in October.

The 38-year-old singer was scheduled to appear Monday afternoon in Norfolk Probate and Family Court, said Adam Loomis of All State Constables in Weymouth.

“He was supposed to show up and prove everything was up-to-date,” Loomis said.

In October, Brown paid $11,000 in delinquent child support after being threatened with arrest if he stepped back into Massachusetts.

He owed over two months of payments to Kim Ward, of Stoughton, the mother of two of his two children. It wasn’t immediately known if Brown still owes child support.

Brown was cooperative outside the high school, and borrowed Loomis’ cell phone to arrange to get out of jail, the constable said.

Brown’s attorney, Atlanta-based Phaedra Parks, didn’t immediately return a call to comment. A message also was left at the Probate and Family Court.

In June 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of payments. That sentence was immediately suspended after Brown paid about $15,000.

Last March, Brown was nabbed for minor motor vehicle violations dating back 14 years when he arrived to watch his daughter at a cheering competition at Bartlett High School. Brown was cooperative, and he was allowed to drive to the police station after the competition, police said.

Brown, a Boston native who had a hit solo album “Don’t Be Cruel,” and pop diva Whitney Houston are divorcing after a 14-year marriage.

Coincidentally, this day back in 1993, police in Augusta, Georgia fined singer Bobby Brown $580 for pretending to have sex with one of his backup singers during a concert. She also was fined $580.
