Pregnant Mindy McCready Hospitalized For Overdose

Country singer Mindy McCready was hospitalized yesterday for overdose, after she had a fight with her boyfriend, William McKnight.

According to police reports, McCready, 30, had an argument on the phone with McKnight about whether his parents should help pay for the pregnancy. It appears they didn't reach an agreement and Mindy, upset with her boyfriend, took more then 30 antidepressant pills.

After McKnight called her back and she didn't answer, he called police and an ambulance.

McCready has had several problems with the police this year, including a drunken driving arrest in Nashville, a suicide attempt and an arrest in Arizona.

On May 6, 2005, McCready was stopped by Nashville police for speeding and then arrested and charged with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. She was later released on a $3500 bail.

Two days later, on May 8, McCready's ex-boyfriend and aspiring country singer, William Patrick McKnight, broke into her house and beat and choked her. He was charged with attempted murder and aggravated burglary.

In July 2005, McCready was charged in Arizona with identity theft, attempted fraudulent scheme and artifices, unlawful imprisonment, hindering prosecution and unlawful use of transportation.

The following week, on July 22, McCready was found unconscious in a hotel lobby in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. She was hospitalized due to a drug overdose after washing down a large amount of undisclosed drugs with alcohol.

On August 10, 2005, an arrest warrant was issued for McCready, for violation of her probation when she left Tennessee without permission from her probation officer. McCready was also charged with not reporting to her probation officer during July.

On September 19, 2005 during a court appearance in Tennessee to appeal terms of her bail, she confirmed that the July 22 drug overdose in Florida was a suicide attempt. She added that the attempt came after learning she was pregnant with McKnight's baby.
