Amy Winehouse Investigated for Drug Offenses

May 7, 2008 — -- Less than two weeks after her last run-in with the law, Amy Winehouse is back in hot water.

The British singer is being questioned on suspicion of drug offenses at a police station in east London, her spokesperson said Wednesday, days after she was photographed looking disheveled and semi-bald.

On April 26, Winehouse left a London police station after questioning about reports that she scuffled with two men during a raucous night out. She received a formal police caution for assault. The caution saved the 24-year-old soul diva from being charged, but kept the incident on the record. It could count against her if she gets charged with a similar offense in future.

Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were arrested in the Norwegian city of Bergen in October and held overnight on charges of drug possession. A video of her allegedly smoking crack hit the Internet shortly before she won five Grammys this year for her critically acclaimed album "Back to Black."

She was arrested in London in December on suspicion of attempting to interfere with a court case involving Fielder-Civil, but earlier this year police said prosecutors were no longer pursuing the matter.

Fielder-Civil is in jail awaiting trial on charges of perverting the course of justice stemming from a case in which he is accused of assaulting a barman.

Winehouse's musical career has flourished despite her erratic behavior, missed concerts and stints in drug rehab. The Sunday Times newspaper's annual Rich List this week estimated her wealth at $20 million.

Winehouse's spokesman said the singer was "looking forward to continuing her work on new music in the studio."
