Judge Issues Warrant for Bobby Brown

CANTON, Mass. - A family court judge issued an arrest warrant for singer Bobby Brown after he failed to appear for a child support compliance hearing.
Judge Paula Carey issued the warrant on Wednesday morning, said Patrick McDermott, the court's Register of Probate. The warrant can only be executed in Massachusetts, he said.
McDermott said a local counsel for Brown told the court the singer became ill en route to catch a flight to Boston and was taken to a hospital in Atlanta, but neither she nor court officials were able to get confirmation. He said the judge might have postponed the hearing with such confirmation.
"We'd be happy to listen to that excuse if there were some proof to back it up," McDermott said.
