He was also ordered to attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meeting a week until he goes to jail and to complete an 18-month alcohol program as part of his probation.
Brown, a member of the famed group New Edition, was busted in October after cops spotted him driving erratically in Studio City, Calif., pulled him over and smelled alcohol on his breath. He failed a field sobriety test.
It was the third DUI conviction for Brown. His driver's license was suspended following a DUI conviction last year.
