Founder of Brown Hand Center is arrested in Houston, charged with assaulting his wife

If you've watched many Texas Rangers' games on TV (or other local programming), you may have seen commercials for the Brown Hand Center, a chain of surgery clinics specializing in carpal tunnel injuries. There's one in Bedford, on the Airport Freeway near Forest Ridge Drive.

The commercials feature Michael Brown, the bearded, smiling founder of the Houston-based company, sitting in a cozy office with his wife and children (or actors playing them). The commercials end with him saying, "In the Brown Hand Center, we'll care for you just as I care for my own family." Then a little girl climbs into his lap and says, in a too-cute voice, "Daddy's baby girl."

If police and prosecutors in Harris County are correct, patients might hope for better treatment than what Brown dishes out to his family.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Brown, 53, was arrested earlier this month and charged with assaulting his wife -- his fourth wife -- "by twisting her arm behind her back, court records show."

I’m assuming he used his hands.

I read “Brown Hand Center” and thought it was a proctology clinic.

Will he be her physician and treat any injuries he may have caused?

If you have to abuse your spouse are brown hands an improvement over green shoots?

“I read “Brown Hand Center” and thought it was a proctology clinic.”

I was thinking he specializes in illegal immigrant hand problems?

Maybe he raised his hand against her.

I've seen that commercial... it is creepy.

It needs a dose of Billy Mays (may he r.i.p.) "energy" to take the creepy edge off me thinks.

Wow, did you read the whole article? Looks like this is not his first rodeo.

"In 2002, it added, he pleaded no contest to aggravated assault for beating his then-wife Darlina Brown, with a bed post while she was pregnant. He was sentenced to 10 years' supervised probation and fined $1,500.

I've seen it as well as a similar print advertisment, and I am struck by the hotness of his latina trophy wife coupled with the number of his children. I think he has about six in the ad.
