British media report Winehouse arrested

Amy Winehouse was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of attempting to interfere with a court case involving her husband, according to several British media reports.

Authorities said a 24-year-old was arrested during an appointment at a police station in London as part of an investigation into "perverting the course of justice."

Several British media outlets including Sky News, Times Online and the Press Association news agency reported that the woman was Winehouse. Police would not confirm the reports.

The troubled singerrecently cancelled all concerts and public appearances for the rest of the year on doctor's orders.

Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was ordered held in custody in London last month on charges of perverting the course of justice stemming from a case in which he is accused of assaulting a male bartender in June.

Fielder-Civil allegedly tried to interfere with the testimony of a witness, according to court documents.

Winehouse has been dogged by reports of continued drug use and was recently spotted walking outside of her London home wearing a bra and jeans, with no shoes, looking distressed.

At the kick-off concert to a tour in November, Winehouse was booed by her fans after she delivered a sub-par performance, acted erratically onstage, appeared intoxicated and threatened some patrons who heckled her.

Winehouse, nominated forsix Grammy awards in 2008,has said she cannot perform while her husband is in jail.
