WASHINGTON, March 2 (UPI) -- A Washington radio station posted the back child support that freed singer Bobby Brown from jail in exchange for the rapper working at the station.
WIHT-FM said in a statement the deal was brokered by morning DJ Kane and Brown's lawyers. E! News said. Kane says Brown will work at the station for a week beginning Monday, discussing his transgressions on-air and promoting the station at other times.
Brown owed about $19,000 in back child support.
"Bobby deserves a clean slate," said Kane. "He has agreed to be a positive role model for the Washington, D.C., community and we look forward to welcoming Bobby to the staff at Hot 99.5."
Brown, 38, was taken into custody Sunday after arriving in his home state of Massachusetts to watch his daughter's cheerleading event. A warrant had been issued last October after he failed to show for child-support hearing regarding the care of his two children with ex-girlfriend Kim Ward.
