Amy Winehouse Arrested Over Drug Video

Posted: 2008-05-07 16:27:58

LONDON (May 7) - Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of drugs possession, police and her spokesman said Wednesday.

Winehouse's spokesman, Chris Goodman, said the arrest is connected to a video that is alleged to show the troubled singer taking drugs at a party in her home in north London.

Winehouse's Woes

1 of 18

Amy Winehouse removed her trademark beehive wig and most of her clothes over the weekend while vacationing with friends. 'Back to Bald' snickered the Daily Mail newspaper in a typical reaction in the UK to the troubled soul singer's thinning scalp.

Britain's The Sun tabloid in January published still images from a video that it claimed showed Winehouse inhaling fumes from a small pipe. The images were said to have been filmed during a party at her London home.

London's Metropolitan Police said a 24-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of drugs possession. Goodman confirmed his client was in police custody.

"Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries," Goodman said in a statement.

"The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year," he said.

Winehouse is famous for her hit "Rehab." She has had a turbulent private life. Last month she was cautioned by police for assault after she slapped a man during a night out. That means no charges were filed, but the incident was placed on her record.

Shortly after The Sun published still photographs of the video, Winehouse entered a London rehabilitation center.

Shamrock....put down the crack pipe and back away slooooowly. This girl is nothing but a trainwreck. She needs to be locked up for her own good before she is the next Jannis Joplin. Not that it matters to me, I don't like her music anyhow.

Once again this woman has proved she is a wreck and needs some serious help! She should not be criticized but pitied! Isn't there anyone in her life capable of convincing her to get HELP? Is it possible that everyone around her are just as "out of it" as she is and blind or just too high on something to recognize this woman is dying?

Amy is not evil, she is sick! Have some mercy on her please.

If you were struggling with cancer or some other terminal disease would you like to be internationally castigated. Hypocrites!

To all you critisizing Amy, you are heartless subhumans that probably find fault with dying cancer patients, too. Many cancer patients have a better chance at remission than MS. Winehouse does.

"Whatever you do to the least of these my children, you do unto me", ever heard that quote? I doubt it. Have another drink and a smoke!
