It's been a tough celebrity trainwreck of a ride for Amy Winehouse during the past few months. Despite all of the accolades for her music, her private life has been a spiralling out of her control and into the hands of the flashbulb wielding paparazzi and their scathing-tongued media counterparts.
And this latest news isn't likely to help her predicament.
LONDON - Amy Winehouse was arrested Wednesday in connection with a January video that allegedly shows her doing drugs at a party at her north London home.
London's Metropolitan Police said a 24-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of drugs possession. Winehouse's spokesman, Chris Goodman, confirmed his client was in police custody.
"Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries," Goodman said in a statement.
"The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year," he said.
Britain's The Sun tabloid in January published still images from a video that it claimed showed Winehouse inhaling fumes from a small pipe.
