Winehouse in drug arrest

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse was bailed by police after she was arrested in connection with a video which allegedly shows her taking drugs at a party at her north London home.

London's Metropolitan Police said the Grammy winner had been released on bail following several hours of questioning at a police station in the city.

Winehouse's spokesman, Chris Goodman, confirmed that his client had been arrested on Wednesday and held in police custody to answer questions.

"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.

"The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year."

Britain's The Sun tabloid in January published still images from a video that it claimed showed Winehouse inhaling fumes from a small pipe. The images were said to have been filmed during a party at her home.

Winehouse, who is famous for her hit Rehab, has had a turbulent private life. Last month she was cautioned by police for assault after she slapped a man during a night out. That means no charges were filed, but the incident was placed on her record.

Shortly after The Sun published still photographs of the video, Winehouse entered a London rehabilitation center.

Her release on police bail means she has not been charged with an offense, but that officers can recall her for more questioning at any time. ASSOCIATED PRESS
