We always assumed that the Scandinavian peoples were known for their lenience when it came to kicking back and burning one, but alas, the good people of Norway have arrested and fined subtle beauty Amy Winehouse for marijuana possession. Our gossip NA sponsor, Female First, has the poop:
Amy Winehouse was arrested for drug possession in Norway yesterday (18.10.07).
The 'Rehab' singer and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil spent the evening in police cells after being arrested at the Radisson SAS Hotel Norge Bergen at 7pm last night after guests complained they could smell marijuana smoke coming from Amy's room.
Police were alerted and officers discovered a stash of marijuana after searching Amy's hotel suite.
A witness said: "There were four police cars parked around the back of the hotel yesterday for some time so it looks like they were waiting for the right moment. They were in and out of her room very swiftly and didn't make a fuss."
Bergen police have confirmed they arrested the couple and confiscated a "small quantity" of the drug from the singer's room.
While it was inevitable that Winehouse would eventually get busted for drugs, being arrested for POT of all things is akin to a softened boner when it comes to celebrity drug arrests. Come on, a "small quantity" of weed as the downfall of a notorious enjoyer of both crack cocaine and heroin? Haley Joel Osment had a more brutal substance bust than that.
