Bobby Brown has been released from prison after spending
just nine hours behind bars.
The singer - the ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston -
barely had time to settle into his cell following his incarceration on
Wednesday morning for his third driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.
Bobby checked into LA County Jail at 09:58 on Wednesday last week before being released at 6:58 pm because
the jail was "overcrowded",
The star was sentenced to 55 days in prison last month after
being arrested and charged for his third DUI in October. He was caught driving
erratically around Los Angeles on a suspended licence, and had been arrested
seven months beforehand for a similar crime.
Bobby missed his original court date in February, and was
ordered to attend three Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings per week until his
hearing on Wednesday.
The County Sheriff's spokesperson recently said he was
likely to only serve nine days of his sentence - not nine hours.
Bobby - who has daughter Bobbi Kristina with Whitney, and
four children from other relationships - is currently on four years probation
and has to attend 18 months of alcohol education classes.
He and Whitney divorced in 2007 after 15 years of
"stormy" and drug-filled marriage.
