Mindy McCready Headed Back to Jail
Country singer Mindy McCready is about to have some extra time for song writing.
Mindy is prepping to turn herself in to police tomorrow for violating her probation for prescription drug fraud in June. Her attorney, Lee Ofman, issued this statement:
"In accordance with an agreement we have reached with the district attorney of Williamson County, Tennessee, Ms. McCready will voluntarily surrender to authorities on September 30th to serve a sentence of 60 days. The successful completion of this sentence will satisfy her obligation to the State of Tennessee resulting from her probation violation."
The troubled crooner did a stint in rehab this past July, and was jailed in 2007 for, yep, violating probation on a drug arrest from 2004.
Mindy sent this message out to her fans:
"I am working very hard to put all of this behind me as quickly as possible so I can get back to what I like to do most: sing, write songs, and entertain. I would like to thank my fans for their unwavering support as I continue to work on my recovery and to regain custody of my precious son, Zander."

Poor Mindy. After what she went through at the hands of her former lover (and father of her child), I'm not surprised she has a drug problem. My heart goes out to her and I hope she find the strength to recover soon.
Mindy, I wish you nothing but the best! Life throws us "curve balls" now & then, I know. In the past I've battled anorexia and alcoholism and it isn't easy, but I do it day by day. You are such an amazing singer and I miss your music. I play my old cd's of yours all the time. Get well and put this all behind you. This fan truly misses you!
