Courtney Love booked on drug-possession charges
The performer, 39, was arrested and booked on two misdemeanor drug charges earlier this month, after she allegedly tried to break into a home in Los Angeles. Later the same day, authorities were called to Love's home in Beverly Hills to treat her for a drug overdose. While at her home, police allegedly found two legal painkillers--hydrocodone and oxycodone--for which Love had no prescription. The felony charges stemmed from the overdose visit.
Love reportedly turned herself in voluntarily, and was booked by Beverly Hills police. Prosecutors reportedly recommended that a judge set bail at $20,000; if Love is convicted of the felony charges, she could be offered time on a drug-diversion program instead of prison.
After the overdose, Love lost custody of her 11-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain.
Love, the widow of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, formerly fronted the band Hole. Earlier this year, she signed with Virgin Records, which announced that she was working on a new album to be titled "America's Sweetheart." According to Virgin, a release date hasn't been announced for the set, which features several songs written in collaboration with Linda Perry.
