McCready

Some people just can’t stop getting in their own way! Former country star Mindy McCready, singer of the number 1 hit Guys Do It All the Time and the top ten hit A Girl’s Gotta Do What a Girls Gotta Do, was arrested yet again on Saturday. This time in Ft. Myers, Florida, on charges of battery and resisting arrest.

McCready seems to have a genius for trouble…and she sports the rap sheet to prove it. In 2004, she was arrested in Tennessee for using a fake prescription to buy the painkiller OxyContin. For that incident, she was fined $4,000, sentenced to three years probation, and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.

Less than a year later, in May of 2005, Mindy was pulled over in Nashville for speeding and arrested for driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. Two days after that fiasco, Mindy’s ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight allegedly broke into her home and choked and beat her.

Only a month later, in June of 2005, McCready was charged with identity theft in Arizona after she supposedly stole a truck with another man and forced a woman to accompany them against her will. Her lawyer claimed she was helping police capture a con artist who was ripping off celebrities.

Ready for more? Just a week after the Arizona arrest, Mindy was hospitalized for a drug overdose after washing a cocktail of pills down with…well…a cocktail….or 2 or 3. Then in August of 2005, Mindy was charged with leaving Tennessee without the permission of her probation officer. It was shortly after this that she appeared on Oprah’s show to confirm that the July overdose was, in fact, a suicide attempt and that she was pregnant with Billy Knight’s baby. The same man was was charged with attempting to murder her.

Later in September of 2005, Mindy was hospitalized again, this time for overdosing on antidepressants after she and McKnight had an argument.

Mindy has been released from jail for Saturday’s incident.
