Singer James Brown briefly furloughed for autographs
South Carolina corrections officials were astonished when a judge allowed James Brown to be briefly furloughed from the State Park Correction Center to go to the Columbia courthouse and sign autographs for about 40 people including Circuit Judge Frank Ep. Corrections Commissioner Parker Evatt called it flabbergasting, saying Brown is serving six years for leading authorities on a high speed chase and the officials assumed the request related to court business.
