Actress/Singer Courtney Love was charged with
illegal possession of drugs on Tuesday. Love was indicted on 2 felony counts
for having the painkillers hydrocodone and oxycodone in her possession
when she was arrested earlier this month (see
story).
Love surrendered voluntarily to Beverly
Hills police.
Love reportedly did not have a prescription
for the painkillers. She is expected to be released on bail of $20,000
following her arraignment late Tuesday.
It is not clear if the district attorneys
office will seek jail time for Love on the charges or opt for a court order
drug diversion program.
She was originally charged with a misdemeanor
and her arraignment was postponed until Halloween. But it appears that
the DA elevated the charges against Love.
Love was arrested on October 2nd after
breaking windows at a friends house in an attempt to get inside. She was
booked and then released on $2500 bail, only to be rushed to the hospital
less than an hour later for a drug overdose.
She also lost custody of her 11-year-old
daughter. Love had the child, Frances Bean Cobain, with late husband, Nirvana
frontman Kurt Cobain. Last Tuesday, a Los Angeles Juvenile Court judge
ordered Love to vacate her Beverly Hills home so that her daughter and
her nanny can return to the residence. Shortly after her arrest, Frances
was taken away from Love and placed with her paternal grandmother.
