Bobby Brown, the Grammy Award-winning ex-hubby of pop superstar Whitney Houston, will be doing community service instead of going to jail for cocaine possession - but not everyone is happy about it, the Boston Herald reported Wednesday. His attorney Stephanie Soriano told the Herald that no criminal charges would be issued.
"Mr Brown will be accepting the recommendation of the court," she said.
Brown is to work with children and young adults in the city of Brockton outside Boston, where poverty and crime are rampant.But Brockton city councilor Timothy Cruise told the Herald it might not be such a good idea."I dont know a lot about Bobby Brown, but what Ive seen makes me think we dont need him working with the kids," Cruise was quoted as saying.The 39-year-old singer, songwriter and dancer has been charged in the past with nonpayment of child support, kicking a hotel security guard, drug and alcohol abuse and allegedly physically abusing Houston.
State police wanted Brown to be charged with cocaine possession, but Brockton District Court Clerk Magistrate Kevin Creedon thought otherwise and proposed the community service.Police say they found Brown with cocaine inside a car while investigating a fight at a local motel.
