Winehouse Arrested for Drug Possession

Posted May 7th 2008 1:31PM by TMZ Staff

British popwreck Amy Winehouse has been arrested for alleged possession of a controlled drug. No, no, no!

Winehouse went to a London police station this afternoon at around 1:00 PM for a scheduled meeting and was questioned regarding alleged drug offenses. At the conclusion of the meeting, Amy was arrested.

According to The Sun, Amy was popped over a video they ran of her allegedly smoking crack and snorting cocaine.

On April 25, Amy was arrested for suspicion of assault for allegedly headbutting a man outside a London bar. She was released the next day and given a formal caution.

A rep for Winehouse tells TMZ, "Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year."

17. If Amy Winehouse did not like one of the TMZ photogs, Amy may do a headbutting on the photographer.

Amy really let down everybody down at Island Records.

18. I think the Grammy's should consider make those with drug convictions ineligible for nominations.

19. What's the deal with the laws in England? Fielder-Civil can't make bail or whatever and she gets picked up for a "video of her smoking something"? PLUS these people have BUCKS big bucks , millions, where are the lawyers?? What's the big deal about bail or bond, neither could make a move w/o the paps, the police don't have to lift a finger I don't get it.

21. Why does everyone feel so bad for her? If you really want to help her then stop buying her cd's and stop going to her concerts and giving her awards and stop buying her stuff that gives her the royalties to buy the S*!T in the first place. Poor people can't buy drugs!

27. They try to make her go to rehab, she say no, no, no. Poor Amy -- such talent, what a waste. I hope she pulls it together long enough to eat a decent meal and rinse out the bird nest on her head.

28. I feel so bad for her, and you can see that she needs someone to help her. Putting her in jail is not what she needs, she needs her family to help her. She will die and soon, and it's a real shame because she is really talented. To all those people saying such negative things towards her GO F/YOURSELVES.

29. I am shocked. SHOCKED I SAY!

30. I love Amy's music. She just needs a little help. And those teeth.....
