Singer Winehouse arrested on drug possession charge
Deseret News (Salt Lake City), May 8, 2008
Amy Winehouse was arrested Wednesday in connection with a January video that allegedly shows her doing drugs at a party at her north London home.
London's Metropolitan Police said a 24-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of drug possession. Winehouse's spokesman, Chris 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.
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 home.
Winehouse has been released on police bail.
