Amy Winehouse was arrested in London today (May 7) on charges of suspected drug possession.
The arrest is connected to a video in which the singer was seen smoking what appears to be a crack pipe at her London home in January. The Winehouse video was subsequently posted on The Sun's website, as previously reported.
In a statement issued today, Winehouse's spokesperson said: "Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with enquiries.
"The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year."
Winehouse entered a rehabilitation clinic shortly after the video appeared.
