On this day, 10 May 2000, Bobby Brown was arrested at Newark airport, New Jersey for breaking his probation order. He had been wanted in Florida since 1999 when his probation officer reported that a urine test proved positive for cocaine use.

Brown was taken into custody at Newark International Airport after arriving on a flight from Nassau, the Bahamas, and then transported back to Florida early Thursday to answer charges that he violated terms of his probation for a 1996 arrest for drunk driving.
