FRANKLIN, Tenn. - An arrest warrant issued for Mindy McCready says the country singer has violated her probation on a drug charge, authorities said Wednesday.
A judge signed off on the warrant Monday because McCready left Tennessee without getting permission from her probation officer and didn't report to the officer during July, according to Williamson County Sheriff's officials interviewed Wednesday.
Authorities said this was McCready's second probation violation, which means she cannot post bond this time and likely will have to serve time in jail.
The probation violations stem from charges brought against the singer last year, when she pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining the painkiller OxyContin at a pharmacy in Williamson County. She was fined $4,000, sentenced to three years of supervised probation and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.
McCready violated her probation on May 6 when she was charged with driving under the influence in Nashville. She posted a $5,000 bond in Franklin, according to sheriff's records.
A few days later, McCready's boyfriend, William McKnight, was charged with attempted murder after allegedly breaking into her home and beating her.
Last month, McCready was released from a Florida hospital after an apparent suicide attempt at an Indian Rocks Beach hotel, authorities said.
The 28-year-old singer had a No. 1 hit in 1996 with "Guys Do It All the Time."
The arraignment for country singer Mindy McCready, shown in an 1996 publicity photo, has been postponed until Aug.30. The troubled singer had been scheduled for arraignment Friday, July 29, 2005, on charges of unlawful use of a means of transportation and hindering prosecution in Mohave County Superior Court in Kingman Ariz., but she did not appear.

What a waste.
Yeah, it did wonders for Johnny Cash.
What a pity.
Voice like an angel, looks, talent.
Had it all going and simply threw it away.
Very sad
She was once the girlfriend of actor Dean Cain..(Superman on TV)
If I was Mindy's Dad, Locking me up would be the only hope the POS boyfriend would have of ever getting locked up.
(Drag his ass through about 100 miles of mesquite and prickly pear, the hogs could have whats left)
Guenevere's trivia...

You didn't see that on Ripley's Believe It or Not, did ya? ;-)
Could be a good career move... in this day and age.
Are you suggesting that the B&E and Attempted Murder was merely an attempted intervention?
Fraid she don't need friends like that.
Damn...just when she was getting her life together.
I guess girls do it to...
..I probably read it in some trashy mooooveee magazine :^)
I think they were actually engaged for a time.....like, you know, to get married.
Can't say.
It does sound like she's got big problems everywhere in her life.
I apologize, I didn't mean to go off in a rant when I don't know anything about the girl.
I really did what I said about Johnny Cash, from what I recall it brought him back from the brink of disaster.
May God bless her and may she get her life back on track. She undoubtedly has hurt herself and those that love her about as much as all of them can stand.
I heard she's been hangin' out with Courtney Love. LOL
