It’s hard to know how to react to the news that Bobby Brown was arrested on Friday for a crime that was committed 14 years ago. Should we pity him, curse his bad luck or be happy that justice was done?
Well, the first thing we did was check that Bobby Brown didn’t record his godawful theme-tune to Ghostbusters II 14 years go – because, frankly, we’d have thrown away the key for that one – but that wasn’t the case. For one, Ghostbusters II is 17 years old, and also Bobby Brown was arrested for a teeny tiny 14-year-old motoring offence.
Bobby Brown (CDs), he of New Edition and being one half of the world’s tackiest couple fame, had a spot of bad luck last week. We assume he had a normal week – swearing, pulling out clumps of shit from Whitney Houston‘s arse
with his fingers, more swearing – and he just wanted to finish the week
by watching his daughter take part in a high school cheerleading
competition in Webster, Massachusetts.
The police had other ideas, though. An officer performed a warrant
check on Bobby Brown – a common enough event, it seems – and discovered
that Bobby was a wanted man. His crime? The unforgivable sin of
unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and having an uninsured
motor-vehicle trailer. The bastard.
The events that happened next may shock some readers: Bobby Brown
was "very cooperative," and drove to the police station with his
bodyguard following the cheerleading competition. Bobby Brown was detained
for an hour, and then paid a $40 bond.
That’s the wild and crazy world of rock and roll for you, folks.
