Amy Winehouse was arrested again by London police officers on Wednesday, May 7 over alleged drugs offenses after she was caught smoking crack on a video taken in January.

For the second time in two weeks, troubled singer Amy Winehouse was arrested again by London police officers. She reportedly went to a London police station Wednesday afternoon, May 7, where she was then arrested over alleged drugs offenses.

The arrest is prompted by the sensational video made public by The Sun showing Amy inhaled drugs namely cocaine and powdered ecstasy from a glass pipe and offered 190 pound sterling to a pusher to get some crack. On the video, she was heard saying, "I need to get all that stuff off you tonight. Tomorrow I need Valium." The 19-minute footage, which was taken in January, was found on a memory stick.

Amy's spokesperson revealed to People magazine following her arrest, saying "Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today (May 7) by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year." However, after being questioned for several hours, Amy was then released on bond, E! Online has learned.

Amy was previously arrested over assault allegation on April 25 after she head butted a man while partying in London pub on April 23. She was released then and instead of being charged for assault, she received a formal police caution with the "head butting" incident will simply remain on her record. Amy's representative Chris Goodman revealed that she "admitted to a common assault by slapping a man with an open hand and accepted a caution." He also added, "Amy was fully cooperative with inquiries and apologized for the incident."
