Amy Winehouse Arrested -- Allegedly "Perverts Justice"

Posted Dec 18th 2007 1:31PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: Amy's been released, we're told, pending "further investigation." She's due back at the police station for more questioning in early March.


Yes yes yes! Singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of "perverting the course of justice" -- the UK's version of interfering with a police investigation.

TMZ has confirmed that the arrest was made "by appointment" in London today.

Last month, Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was arrested for the same thing -- related to the case of an alleged assault on a bartender last June.

Winehouse recently canceled her UK tour, supposedly because she was too upset over the arrest of Mr. Winehouse.

Someone, anyone ... please help!

Her rep confirmed that the singer has been arrested, but explained that this is common practice in the UK. There a person is technically arrested when they are brought in for questioning, but Winehouse has not been charged with anything. This was pre-arranged.

Story developing ...

6. Damn Girl! Well this is one way for her to dry out.

She must have known this was coming when they were looking into her finances. Where the hell else would her husband get the money to pay somebody off?

10. Ha ha, goody! Well it is about time. So, the arrest was by appointment? George Lopez was right, someone wake that bitch up and I guess they had to for the arest too! Hey, Amy, maybe this will be the re-hab you have been needing you trashy whore!

11. If they keep her in jail over there longer than we keep them here (LL and NR), then she may dry out. She may even get rid of that coke residue in her nose. She's heading nowhere fast!

12. FIBiker is an idiot, and that's being nice. This will hopefully help, amy.

13. Well, who the h*ll is going to feel empathy for Ms. Winehouse now, if it turns out she has actually tried to pervert the course of justice. Struggling with demons is one thing, but criminal behaviour is quite another. We have laws to protect us all.

14. Simply put, as Martha Stewart would say, this is...

...a good thing.

This'll either be a serious wake up call for her or she'll make good on ther immature drama-queen self-centered threat to off herself.

Too bad, but, well, there it is.

15. Hey, I disagree with FIBiker about the 'let us know when she dies' comment, but he's just being sarcastic, and Biker has given me more consistent laugh-out-louds for months than anyone else on here. He or she also has good instincts, and FIBiker is usually right on the money when it comes to judgement and common sense, whether it's phrased politically correctly or not.
