Wanted: Bobby Brown
Every little step he takes, Bobby Brown seems to be shadowed by Johnny Law.
An arrest warrant was issued for Whitney Houston's troubled hubby Wednesday, after the "My Prerogative" crooner failed to make it to a scheduled court hearing in Massachusetts.
Brown had been slated to appear in the Norfolk County Probate Court to explain why he defied a judge's order and did not pay money into educational trust funds for two children he has with ex-girlfriend Kim Ward. (Brown has at least six kids with different pre-Whitney women.)
Judge Paula Carey admonished the former platinum-selling artist. Brown, she said, was "no different than any other person who appears before me. He has an obligation to search for employment and get employment, and he needs to do it and fulfill his obligations."
Brown's lawyer claimed the beleaguered singer could not make his latest courtroom engagement because he had checked into an Atlanta hospital for an undisclosed reason. But the judge said the court couldn't confirm Brown's whereabouts and issued the warrant. The arrest order is only valid inside state lines, so Brown does not face extradition.
Brown's agent told E! late Wednesday that he had no information about whether Brown had been hospitalized. Bravo, which is producing the singer's upcoming reality series, Being Bobby Brown, did not immediately comment.
Brown, who has admitted to battling substance abuse and bi-polar disorder, has previously logged hospital time for a variety of ailments over the past five years.
He has also had several arrest warrants issued for flaking on court appearances.
For the current child-support case, Brown, 36, spent a day in jail a year ago after falling three months behind in payments to Ward totaling $63,500. He was released after coughing up the funds, only to miss more payments this past March. He recently caught up on the unpaid child support, but still hadn't made good on the education-related funds.
At a hearing last month, Brown blamed his own hectic work schedule and slacking accountants as the reason for not setting aside the promised $176,000 for his two oldest children--a boy and a girl who are now teenagers.
"I've been shooting a television show and recording an album. So, it's hard," the former New Edition singer told the court. "For me, it's easy to not know that a payment is not paid because other people are supposed to pay them."
But Ward's attorney isn't buying the excuses.
"I do not believe that he has no money," lawyer Linda Medonis said this week. "I believe he does not have assets in his name, but he does have the ability to reach assets in the name of others."
Brown's comeback attempts in recent years have largely been derailed by run-ins with the law, including a well publicized 2003 domestic spat.
His new Bravo series, which chronicles his turbulent life, from legal woes to recording sessions, is slated to debut June 30.
