McCready 911 Tape -- "My Mom Is Attacking Me"

Moments before she was arrested in Florida Saturday night, country singer Mindy McCready told a 911 dispatcher that her mother had "attacked" her, and "made marks on herself to make it look like [Mindy] hurt her." A baby can be heard screaming in the background during the entire conversation.

A short time after Mindy made the call, Lee County Sheriffs arrested the singer after they saw scratches on her mother's face and said that McCready's breath reeked of alcohol -- despite Mindy's recorded claim that neither she nor her mother had been drinking or doing any drugs that night.

According to the arrest report, McCready "struggled" when sheriffs arrived, and had to be restrained. During the confrontation, she hit her head on the ground, which caused the gash on her face in the mugshot.

McCready was then taken to jail, where deputies say she was so disruptive, they were forced to use pepper spray to control her. McCready claims the cops abused her, and told a news station that she plans to take legal action.

18. She needs to have her parental rights stripped and she needs a very extended rehab visit! She has been a drunk and a drug addict for years! While I feel sorry for her and I know how hard addictions can be to get control of, her little boy is in serious danger of being abused or neglected! He doesnt deserve to have to grow up in that environment! The little boy needs a stable loving home to become(hopefully) well adjusted adult and not a huge mess like his mother!! No one has the right to inflict that crap on to their kids!! I dont care who you happen to be!!

21. A promising country singer? Are you kidding me? She's a joke! I'm from Nashville and we used to see her drunk at bars - it was just fun to watch her act like she was something special....

she's more famous around here for being a washed up drunk

22. as a parent of 3 girls who inspire to be an actress or singer, what good role models are left for them to look up too? ms. lohan, spears, ritchie, and hilton are only digging a deeper hole for themselves, tough love in prison and the exspensive toys taken away for a while might teach them a lesson and save their lives........
