Winehouse Released on Bail After Arrest

May 8, 2008

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse reportedly has been released on bail after she was arrested on drug charges.

The BBC said the 24-year-old recording artist, whose addiction to drugs has kept her in media headlines for more than a year, was released on bail after her arrest Wednesday on suspicion of drug possession.

The arrest was connected to a widely circulated video that purported to show Winehouse using drugs.

Around 1 p.m. today a 24-year-old woman from the Camden area attended a London police station by arrangement and was arrested in connection with the alleged possession of a controlled drug. This is in connection with an investigation connected to footage passed to the Metropolitan Police on Jan. 22, a Metropolitan Police spokesman told the BBC Wednesday.
