![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
A judge just sentenced Mindy McCready to one year in County Jail for violating her probation. She does it all the time!
McCready was arrested in Florida in July after cops responded to a domestic dispute between the country singer and her mother. Mindy was convicted in 2004 on a prescription drug fraud charge, and was ordered to serve three years probation. She only had a few more months left on that probation when she was arrested.
McCready has now been convicted on a felony charge. In addition to the jail time, the judge gave her two more years of probation and 200 additional hours of community service. In the courtroom, the judge was clear: if Mindy doesn't perform her community service, he'll put her back in jail again.
An emotional Mindy, in court today wearing an orange jumpsuit, spoke out to the judge.
"Your honor, I can honestly tell you this: This has been the longest two months of my life ... not being able to hold my son ... has been excruciatingly painful." "I could only say I'm sorry," she said. "Please give me a chance to make things as right as they can possibly be."
The judge sent her directly to jail. Do not pass go!

Finally, a *half* celebrity gets the book thrown at her. I think if she were more famous, however, she would have gotten a half day of jail.
That's right-take it from a girl in TN-don't mess with the fuzzz
Mindy..wheres Mork...She will definately not be allowed back on the airwaves..Those rednecks in nashville will see to it..Whats w/the oxycontin..well jail might not help this girls career..her blonde hair might get her a date...
What a sad waste of talent. I hope she manages to get it together.
As a criminal defense attorney here in Tn, I see situations where successful people end up like her because of drugs and alcohol. Someone besides the court system needs to step in for these people. Get your family member help before they end up in court, because court doesn't help. It just makes their life worse. Also, there are usualy some serious psychiatric issues such as bipolar disorder and depression associated with these problems, and they WILL NOT get that treatment in jail. Once they are out, they go right back without proper intervention.
This one sounds like fodder for a biography and a movie starring Sienna Miller.
'BOUT TIME this nitwit got her tail thown in the pokey. She's lucky she didn't kill anybody with her stupidity. Maybe she will get some help behind bars....I said bars...he he he
awwwwwwww shucks ! this womans ONLY error was that she didnt commit these offenses in LA County !! Then she could have just gone on home!
