Amy Winehouse Charged With Assault

Despite trying to tone-down her partying and headline grabbing ways, Amy Winehouse has been ordered to front a London court to face assault charges.

According to a spokesperson from London’s Metropolitan Police, “The singer has been charged. She will appear on bail at City of Westminster Magistrates Court on Tuesday 17th March charged with common assault.”

He added, “It is connection with an incident in Berkeley Square on the 26th September 2008.”

There has been no official comment made by her rep at the time of writing.

Winehouse Cautioned over Assault

Amy Winehouse has been given a caution by police after being arrested for allegedly headbutting a man outside of a bar in London on Wednesday night (April 23).

The singer handed herself into police on Friday and remained in custody overnight with her representative, Chris Goodman, releasing a statement saying that Winehouse had "admitted to a common assault by slapping a man with an open hand and accepted a caution."

"Amy was fully cooperative with inquiries and apologized for the incident," he said.
