Courtney Love arrested in New York nightclub
Rocker Courtney Love was arrested in a New York night club early today for allegedly throwing a microphone stand, striking a man in the head.
The 24-year-old man was taken to a hospital in stable condition. Police said they were charging Love with reckless endangerment and third-degree assault.
Before going to the Manhattan club, Love, who is facing drug charges in California, made an appearance on the David Letterman TV chat show and repeatedly lifted her blouse to expose her breasts.
Love’s back was facing the camera when she lifted her blouse several times while making an entrance.
She then stood on top of Letterman’s desk, sang a few bars of Danny Boy, and exposed her breasts again to the host.
Love, the former lead singer of the group Hole, was arrested in October after allegedly trying to break into the Los Angeles home of a former boyfriend.
Police later called to her home allegedly found painkillers when Love was taken to a treatment centre for a drug overdose.
Love has been charged with two counts of possession of controlled substances. She also faces charges of disorderly conduct and being under a controlled substance.
During his show, Letterman asked Love whether she could talk about the court case. “Yeah, I’m not supposed to,” she said.
When Letterman later asked if drugs were involved, Love said: “One expired Percocet and one Ambien.”
