Winehouse Released On Bail

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been released on bail after she was arrested and questioned over alleged drug offenses. The 24-year-old star was quizzed by police in East London over drug offenses after footage of the star allegedly smoking crack cocaine was handed to British police. It's Winehouse's second legal woe in as many weeks, The hitmaker was accused of head-butting a man outside a North London pub on April 23 and later turned herself in to authorities. She escaped with a caution. Winehouse, who has faced a long and public battle against drugs and alcohol, checked into a rehab clinic in London in January after a video showing her allegedly taking a variety of illegal substances was passed on to British newspaper The Sun. She was also arrested, along with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, in Bergen, Norway last year on suspicion of possessing cannabis. Winehouse was issued with a $714 fine, which she accepted, not realizing that paying up is the same as pleading guilty in the Scandinavian country.
