Compiled from Times wires Brown arrested in Ga.Singer Bobby Brown was arrested early Thursday in Atlanta's Buckhead district on drug and traffic charges. An officer at the Atlanta city jail said Brown was charged with possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, speeding and having no driver's license or proof of insurance. Brown, 33, was stopped around 2:30 a.m. in the Cadillac Escalade he was driving. Several other people were in the sport utility vehicle, but were not arrested, Atlanta police Sgt. R. Miniatis said. Brown's wife, singer Whitney Houston, was not in the vehicle. He posted $1,500 bail at the Atlanta jail shortly before 9 a.m., then was taken to the DeKalb County jail, where he was wanted for failing to appear in court on driving charges from February 1997. A hearing on the charges was scheduled for today in DeKalb Superior Court. 5 bands to join rock Hall of FameThree British exports from rock's "new wave" of the late 1970s -- the Police, the Clash and Elvis Costello and the Attractions -- will join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year. They'll be inducted along with the Righteous Brothers, blue-eyed soul singers of You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', and Australian hard rockers AC/DC. The 18th annual induction ceremony will be held March 10 in New York and televised later on VH1.
