LITTLE TROUBLE GIRL: Amy Winehouse has been arrested for drug offences, it has been reported
Soul singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of drug offences, police sources said.
The Grammy-winning artist, who was arrested for assault less than two weeks ago but released with a warning, was being held after she turned herself in at a London police station.
"At 1pm on Wednesday, a 24-year-old woman attended a London police station by arrangement," police said in a statement.
"She was arrested in connection with alleged possession of a controlled drug."
Police declined to give more details.
Winehouse was held overnight in a cell last month but was released without charge after admitting assault by slapping a man with her hand.
Winehouse, whose battle against drug addiction has often overshadowed her recording success, is said to be worth an estimated £10 million in the latest Sunday Times Rich List.
Winehouse did not attend the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in February, but still managed five big wins, including record and song of the year for Rehab and best pop vocal album for her breakthrough release, Back to Black.
