He was a star on one of Disney's most popular television shows.

But children's entertainer Orlando Brown may struggle to get a job with the wholesome family company again after being arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

The That's So Raven actor was arrested by police at around 11.30pm on Friday night outside his home.

The 23-year-old, who is also a rapper, was taken intro custody by the Los Angeles Police Department West Traffic Division and booked at the Hollywood station.

He was released on his own recognizance at 7.42am on Saturday morning, which means he was bailed on the condition he attends court.

LAPD Officer Rosario Herrera had no further details about the circumstances of Brown's arrest.

It had been claimed the star had been stopped behind the wheel with his pregnant girlfriend in the passenger seat and had been posted on $15,000 bail, but the star's manager Reno Rankin said that was untrue.

He said: 'There was no $15,000 bail, he was released on his own recognizance.

'He just has to go to court and attend his hearing.

'He had been drinking in his house, he had two glasses of wine.

'He had not been driving and there was no pregnant lady in the car.

'The car was his friend's. She was leaving and he went out to talk to her, and he sat in the driver's seat.

'He also was not in a moving vehicle, but when the cops pulled up he was sitting behind the wheel.

'He is going to attend his court date and is innocent until proven guity.'

He is scheduled for a court appearance September 8.

Brown was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in 2007 after police found drugs in his car.

Then, in 2008, he randomly went missing, but turned up one day later unharmed.

That's So Raven was the highest rated series of the Disney Channel, was the longest running show in its history and was nominated for two Emmys.
