The New Edition member was arrested last October near Tarzana, CA after officers pulled him over for driving erratically. They also discovered his court-mandated Breathalyzer was not installed.

The driving under the influence charge will require jail time, 48 months of summary probation, a $500 fine plus penalty assessment and an 18-month alcohol program. He must also comply with the DUI conditions of a prior charge.

In addition, he was sentenced to 36 months of summary probation, ordered to pay a $300 fine plus penalty assessment and install an ignition interlock device (Breathalyzer) for the second charge of driving on a suspended license.

Attorney Tiffany Feder attended the court date on Brown’s behalf. The “Every Little Step” singer will report to a Los Angeles jail on March 20, and must attend AA meetings three times per week until then.

This is Brown’s third DUI conviction.
