Mindy McCready charged with violating probation

FRANKLIN, Tenn. —

Mindy McCready has been arrested in Tennessee and charged with violating her probation.


Authorities accuse the 32-year-old country singer of falsifying her community service records.


Williamson County Sheriff's Department officer Charlotte Spencer says McCready turned herself in Monday, posted the $5,000 bond and was released two hours later.


She is on probation for a 2004 drug charge.


Her attorney, Lee Ofman, declined Thursday to comment on the new charge.


A corrections official says McCready will go before the judge who sentenced her, and he will decide what, if any, action to take.


McCready's court date wasn't immediately available.


She had a number one single in 1996 with "Guys Do It All the Time."
