After turning himself in to the police to serve his 55-day jail term, R&B singer Bobby Brown has been freed in a record time of nine hours.
The ex-husband of Whitney Houston, who was convicted in February for drunk driving and driving with a suspended license, was taken into Van Nuys to serve a nearly two-month jail sentence, but was let go much earlier.
Brown, 44, checked into LA County Jail at 9:58 AM Wednesday and was released at 6:58 PM, reported TMZ.
An LA County Sheriff's spokesperson said just days ago Brown would serve nine days due to jail overcrowding.
Brown was arrested in October after driving erratically on an LA street. He pled no contest to DUI and driving on a suspended license. It was his second DUI arrest in 7 months.
The Grammy winner is under four years of informal probation and must complete an 18-month alcohol treatment program following his release.
