[/p][p nd="4"]Tomi Brown said she had the legal right to live there even though she doesn't own the deed to the home. [/p][p nd="5"]"This is my home," the 36-year-old widow, Brown's fourth wife, told a reporter for the newspaper outside the gate of the house. "I don't have any money. I don't have anywhere to go."[/p][p nd="6"]She earlier told The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle she spoke with Brown on the phone before he died.

[/p][p nd="8"]During his life, the entertainer was married four times. He married, Tomi Rae, his fourth, in December 2001 but the marriage was later annulled. In 2004, the couple remarried and had one child together. The singer also had two children by his first wife, Velma Warren, and three more by his second, Deidre Jenkins. His eldest son Teddy died in a car crash in 1973.[/p][p nd="9"]In January 2004, Brown was arrested and accused of pushing Tomi Rae to the floor and threatening to kill during and argument. Prosecutors said Brown had pleaded guilty to the charges and would forfeit a $1,000 bond as a fine.
