The chase ended when police shot out the tires of his truck. <DIV> <DIV>Brown received a six-year prison sentence after he was convicted on charges of assault, failure to stop for a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, carrying a pistol, and drug possession. He spent 15 months in a prison near Columbia, S.C., and 10 months in a work-release program in Aiken before being paroled on Feb. 27, 1991. <DIV> <DIV>In 1998, police found marijuana
and guns at Brown's home when sheriff's deputies took him into custody on a probate judge's order as a "mental transport." Brown spent a week in a private Columbia hospital, recovering from what his agent said was dependency on painkillers the singer took after hurting his back during a show. <DIV> <DIV>6/14/04--James Brown has pleaded no contest to a domestic violence charge, but will serve no jail time. Instead, the 71-year-old singer will forfeit a $1087 bond as punishment for the January incident at the South Carolina home he shared with wife Tomi Rea Brown (Brown was charged with pushing her to the ground during an argument). According to cops, Brown's wife suffered "scratches and bruises to her right arm and hip" during the bedroom beef. While Brown's plea wipes the case from the Aiken County court docket, his classic bathrobe mug shot is, thankfully, going
nowhere.<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><p> __________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around <br>http://mail.yahoo.com
