Love charged with drug offences
Troubled singer-actress Courtney Love has been charged with a drug offence less than a week after she allegedly tried to break into a Los Angeles home.
Love is due to appear in court over the misdemeanour drug charge in Los Angeles tomorrow, said Frank Mateljan, spokesman for the city attorney’s office.
Love’s drug tests were still pending, he said.
Love, 39, was arrested on October 2 outside a Los Angeles home where she had allegedly broken the windows in an attempt to enter, according to police.
She was arrested and booked for investigation of using illegal drugs, posted bail and was released.
Hours later, police and paramedics in Beverly Hills responded to an emergency call and took Love to a hospital to receive treatment for an overdose, police said.
The performer is the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the 1996 movie The People vs Larry Flynt.
