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."

31. 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.

35. To number 22, what rock do you live under? I believe it's called prostituion, and then infected needles which leads most of the time to AIDS. Oh and whoever said the thing about the Grammy's....she's being judge for her music and nothing else. THAT is why she won those 5 awards. Her personal life is just that...it's personal. However because we are so obsessed with celebrities, and the wonderful paparazzi is always there, we happen to know every detail of her personal life so its not a secret anymore. Billie Holiday was on drugs...should she have not won her awards? The only difference between then and now is that most people weren't aware of Billie's drug problem so there was no controversey like with Amy. I think Amy is brilliant and I just hope she gets help soon. I don't want her to follow in the foot steps of everyone who lived fast and died young; she's too good for that.

40. Some people never learn and get in a lot of trouble in the process. She has thrown away her career and potentially a lot of money because of drugs.

41. I would not be shocked if they searched her house and found
kilos of the stuff. But to arrest her because she was "doing drugs"
on film. The police really have no evidence that she was using real
drugs. She could of been smoking tobacco (unlikely I know) or snorting
baking powder. I do not think with her expensive lawyers that these charges
would hold up in an American court. As a side note: Rehab only works for
those who want change and when you are 21 with 10 million dollars there
really is no incentive for change.
