Mindy McCready

Dec, 18 2008

It's six years since an album or single from Country star Mindy McCready, but she's never been out of the limelight because of turbulence in her personal life. Sadly it appears she still has problems, as Nashville police are reporting that McCready is in hospital following a suicide attempt. The 33 year old singer is stable after apparently taking pills and cutting her wrists on Wednesday. She was discovered by her brother Timothy, who said his sister had been "very intoxicated" on a night out beforehand. McCready is believed to have attempted suicide twice before, both in 2005. She has also had numerous problems with the law: since being sentenced to three years probation in 2004 on drug charges, she's violated probation several times and was eventually jailed in September 2007. After release, she was again imprisoned this year for more probation offenses. Although she was released at the end of October for good behavior, it seems her problems aren't over yet.
