The incident happened around 1 am when a police cruiser spotted the 43-year-old driving erratically and pulled him over. The officer smelled alcohol and gave the singer a field sobriety test, which he was said to have failed, reported TMZ online.
Brown, the former husband of singer Whitney Houston, was promptly taken into custody and booked at a nearby police station.
The incident in the San Fernando Valley section of LA is Brown's second DUI arrest this year. In March, he was busted for driving under the influence in the same part of town.
A judge sentenced him to an alcohol treatment program, probation and a fine after he pleaded no contest, just one month after Houston died.
Brown admitted himself into a rehab facility in August.
The father-of-five married his manager, Alicia Etheredge in June.
