Amy Winehouse Arrested For Smoking Crack In January
Was it as far back as January that the infamous Crack Amy video was released? It seems that the authorities in the UK have been laboriously poring over the footage since then, desperately searching for any clues which might show that Amy was doing drugs, and they found enough tenuous evidence to bring her in on charges. She had an appointment at a police station where she was arrested:
The arrest is a result of a video of the 24-yearold star that became public in January.
In the 19-minute film she is seen smoking crack cocaine and talking about taking Valium while appearing dazed and disorientated.
The star was originally questioned under caution in February and was due to return for further interview in June.
That date was then brought forward and she was asked to go to Limehouse police station in East London yesterday.
This is the latest in a series of incidents between Miss Winehouse and the police.
The Grammy Award winner went voluntarily to Holborn police station just ten days ago to answer charges of common assault.
She was arrested for allegedly attacking a man while on a drunken night out in Camden.
So let’s see…in the past ten days, she’s been arrested twice, once for assault and once for Class A drugs, and they let her out on bail? While in the meantime her husband rots away in jail (where he’s been since November) for beating up a guy who was going to testify against him and then trying to pay him off? He’s a notorious druggie and they didn’t even bust him on drugs charges!
The nineteen-minute vid, which showed Amy Winehouse lighting up and talking about drugs, was on a memory stick on which there had been a deleted video of Peaches Geldof buying drugs. Police were able to use a program to recover the deleted information. (Welcome to the twentieth century, guys…I’ve used a program that I found for free which does the same thing.)
The police released her on bail and she was out again last night, with the beehive on and a scarf with a “Blake” pin attached to it wrapped around her head. Of course, it was just a couple of days ago that she had that same scarf wrapped around her breasts in a makeshift bikini top. But hey, what’s a little boob sweat between friends? She was talking to the paps and discussing getting a new tattoo. Because that’s just what she needs…more body ink. I say this time she gets a tramp stamp with an arrow that says, “If found, please return to owner.”
It remains to be seen whether they can make these charges against Amy stick. You know, since they have such a lack of real evidence that she even does drugs. I’ll bet this all turns out to be a big misunderstanding…she drank too much Mountain Dew, she was on a sugar rush and caffeine high, they’ll all have a big laugh about it, and everyone will walk away happy.

I predict that A.W. is going to need cervical spinal fusion if she makes it to age 35…the weight of her hair is not treating her structure so kind… that hair is half of her body weight!

Addiction + regular incoming checks = death.
Conservatorship time.

Hey, that’s what secure erase is for.
First pass, zero all the data
Second pass, write random data to drive (rand(seed(GMTinSeconds())))
Third pass, zero all the data gain.
They have different standards, including DOD standards.
When it absolutely, positively, has to disappear.

That woman just needs to drop dead from some drug overdose to get it over with. She’s like one of those celebs who contribute more to pop culture through controversy/drama versus actual talent.
