Amy arrested over drug video

AMY WINEHOUSE has been arrested over drug offences.

The 24-year-old star is currently being questioned at a police station in East London over drug offences after footage of the star allegedly smoking crack cocaine was handed to British police.

The Rehab singer was later released on police bail pending further inquries.

It is Winehouse's second brush with the law in as many weeks; The Back to Black hitmaker was accused of headbutting a man outside a North London pub on April 23rd 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 (08) 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 US$714 fine, which she accepted, not realising that paying up is the same as pleading guilty in the Scandinavian country.
