August 11, 2005 6:41 PM EDT

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Aug 11, 2005 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Legal woes are piling up for country singer Mindy McCready and she may not be able to escape jail time.

A judge in Franklin, Tenn., issued an arrest warrant for McCready late Wednesday for violating probation a second time, E! Online reported Thursday.

McCready, 29, last year was fined $4,000, ordered to perform 200 hours of community service and placed on three years' supervised probation for trying to fill a forged prescription for OxyContin.

She violated her probation in May when she was arrested in Nashville for driving under the influence and with a suspended license, court officials said.

Then she went to Arizona without permission, where she was charged with being involved in an alleged carjacking and then missed a scheduled court appearance in Tennessee last month after overdosing in a Florida hotel.

Tennessee authorities told E! McCready will not be able to post bond since this is her second probation violation and will most likely wind up in jail.

I would consider meth more of a Hillbilly Heroin - meth labs are all around in the country

Yeah, I thought meth was considered hillbilly heroin, too.

I guess it works both ways but I've only heard Oxycontin referred to as "hillbilly heroin". Still, I think it would make a coolass band name.

Oh I know but it just never made sense to me.


What name? Oxycontin or Hillybilly Heroin?

Considering the effects of the substances in question, I think Oxy is more deserving of the 'herion' moniker.

Do you think Superman would have been able to save her from heading down this path?

She was engaged to marry Dean Cain at one time.

at least we know why she started self-medicating. Has anyone seen his movies after he left TV? a lot of "Straight to video" work there...

Just a bit hot Where can I sign up to be her cell mate

I don't think it's necessarily a waste. Won't doing some time lend more credibility to her country career? Just like the spouse cheatin', the dog dyin', the pickup truck breakin' down, etc. etc.

Hopefully, she doesn't take the last page out the Keith Whitley, "How to Make It Big" strategy booklet.

Exactly. Oxy is a hell of a lot more difficult to obtain than meth. And more expensive.

Mindy needs some serious PHIN POWER and prayers! That poor girl is messed up! Hopefully she will be able to pull her act together, sometime in the near future.

I thought they actually got married. When she and Dean Cain hooked up, her music career took a backseat. There was talk of them creating a sitcom together, and that was the last the entertainment world heard of Mindy McCready until her current problems started.

I feel bad for her. I got to spend some time with her once or twice, and she is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She reminded me of the classic girl next door.
