Country star Mindy McCready will begin serving a 60-day jail sentence today, for violating probation on a drug-related charge.
Once she’s done with that time, Mindy has met all of her obligations under her probation sentence,” Attorney Lee Ofman revealed. “We worked very hard to get her a deal, so we didn’t have to have a probation violation.”

McCready - known for her albums “Ten Thousand Angels” and “If I Don’t Stay the Night” - was originally convicted of prescription drug fraud in 2004 and placed on parole. She’s already served time for another parole violation in 2007, and in June of this year she was charged for violating it again, by falsifying community service records. She entered rehab in July this year. Apparently some people just don’t learn their lesson.
“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,” McCready said in a statement.
