Country music singer Mindy McCready is going back to prison – after serving five months behind bars in 2007 – for violating her probation related to prescription drug fraud in June.
McCready, 32, is set to turn herself into authorities Tuesday, according to her attorney, Lee Ofman.
The singer issued the following statement on Monday (September 29) via her website:
“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.”
Speaking directly to her fans, McCready said, “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.”
McCready had entered rehab in July this year for undisclosed reasons. She spent five months in jail in 2007 for violating probation related to a 2004 drug arrest.
