[From Associated Press] Bobby Brown arrested in Atlanta suburb ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- Singer Bobby Brown was arrested on a probation violation while dining with his wife, Grammy winner Whitney Houston, police said Saturday. Brown was picked up Friday night at a restaurant in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta after an unidentified caller tipped authorities, said police Sgt. Chris Lagerbloom, a department spokesman. Brown, 33, was taken to the DeKalb County Jail, Lagerbloom said. He did not know how Brown violated his probation. It was not immediately clear Saturday whether Brown was still in custody. A spokeswoman for the county sheriff did not return several phone calls from The Associated Press. In January, Brown was sentenced to eight days in jail and ordered not to drive for a year after pleading guilty to a 1996 drunken driving charge in DeKalb County. Last November, Brown was arrested in Atlanta on charges of possessing less than an ounce of marijuana, speeding and having no driver's license or proof of insurance. He also did a 26-day stint in a Florida jail in 2000 for a previous probation violation. Brown left R&B group New Edition in the late 1980s for a solo career. His hits include "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step."
