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 co-operating 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. 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 centre. © 2008 The Canadian Press |
