Mel B's husband owes court fine after 'duck killing'

Melanie Brown's new husband Stephen Belafonte owes a New Jersey court a $600 (€440) fine after he was allegedly found guilty of killing a duck.

The film producer, 32, was found guilty of an animal control charge after he admitted of throwing a brick at a mallard outside his home in Point Pleasant, according to British newspaper The Sun.

An Ocean County court spokeswoman said: "A warrant has been issued over unpaid fines and costs relating to an animal control offence. He will be arrested if he returns to the area."

Belafonte, who wed the Spice Girl in secret in June (07), admitted attacking his ex-partner Nicole Contreras and was given a suspended jail sentence.
