Singer Bobby Brown was released late last week from the North Broward Detention Center in Pompano Beach, Fla., MTV reported on its Web site. Brown, who had been sentenced to 75 days for various parole violations, was set free 10 days earlier than the July 18 date that a judge had sentenced him in early June. He was let go sooner on the basis of good behavior. Brown's wife, pop music songstress Whitney Houston, met him at the prison upon his release, which was a little after midnight. Comedian Chris Rock, who was taping a mock vigil segment for his television show on cable giant HBO, accompanied Houston. "I just want to be with my family and my friends," Brown told the reporters who gathered outside of the detention center. "I'm going home to spend the summer with my kids and work on my life."
