Brown released after paying support

Bobby Brown has been released from prison after paying $19,000 (£9,701) in child support fees and court costs which he owed.

The singer - currently in the process of divorcing Whitney Houston - was locked up for three days after police arrested him in Massachusetts.

He owed the support fees to Kim Ward, the mother of his two children, and a judge ordered his arrest after he failed to appear at a court hearing.

Phaedra Parks, Brown's lawyer, said he found it hard to pay because the amount was fixed when he was successful, while now he is "not always able to find work".
