Bobby Brown Arrested For Drug Possession, Speeding

Singer pulled over early Thursday morning in Atlanta.

Singer Bobby Brown was arrested on Thursday morning in Atlanta for speeding, driving without a valid license and possession of marijuana.

Brown was driving in his black Cadillac Escalade SUV on Peachtree Road in the tony Buckhead area of Atlanta at around 2:35 a.m. Police clocked him at 52 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone, and proceeded to arrest the singer not only for speeding, but, upon further inspection, for driving without a valid license and possession of less than an ounce of pot, according to a police department spokesperson.

At around 10 a.m., Brown posted his $1,300 bail and was released ... directly into the hands of Atlanta's neighboring DeKalb County authorities. Brown had failed to appear in DeKalb County Court after a 1997 arrest for similar offenses: DUI, speeding and "failure to maintain lane."

Brown quickly posted a $10,000 bond and was released. The DeKalb County hearing is set for Friday afternoon, where the "Thug Lovin' " singer (see [article id="1458373"]"Ja Rule Masters Art Of 'Thug Lovin' ' Thanks To Karate-Kicking Bobby Brown"[/article]) may face either a fine or jail time.

While hitting two jails before noon certainly doesn't sound like a day at the beach, at least Brown was amongst friends. Said one Atlanta Police Department rep, "Oh yeah, we know Bobby quite well around here. He comes through here often."

Bobby Brown's spokespeople did not return calls by press time.
