Courtney Love was arrested on Thursday on
drug related charges and then shortly after her release, she was rushed
to a hospital after an apparent overdose.
She was first arrested outside a friends
house in the Wilshire-area of Los Angeles. Police arrived on the scene
following a burglary report at about 2:38 a.m. PST on Thursday and Love
was reportedly standing in the middle of the street outside the home. She
was arrested after she admitted breaking four windows in an attempt to
enter the residence. She was booked and then released on $2,500 bail.
There are conflicting reports about what
she was charged with. Some reports state she was charged with possession
of an in illegal substance, and other reports state she was charged with
being under the influence of a narcotic.
A police spokesperson Renee Montoya said
in a statement that the owner of residence declined to press charges. But
the the officers noticed that Miss Love's behavior was consistent with
being under the influence of a controlled substance, and they arrested
her.
Less than an hour after she was released,
Beverly Hills police and paramedics rushed to another residence after receiving
an emergency call. They discovered a woman who was suffering an apparent
overdose and rushed her to nearby Century City Hospital for treatment.
Because of privacy issues, Police would
not confirm that the woman that overdosed was Love. However, the Los Angeles
Times reported that unnamed law enforcement sources told them that it was
indeed Love. She was reportedly released from the hospital by mid-day
Thursday.
There has been no word from the Love camp
at this point and her present condition was unknown at press time.
