Courtney Love Hit With Felony Drug Charges

LOOT: Crooks clean out Nelly's Las Vegas hotel room

OCTOBER 28--Los Angeles prosecutors today charged Courtney Love with illegally possessing the powerful painkillers Hydrocodone and Oxycodone. A two-count felony complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court (the drug charges stem from Love's apparent October 2 overdose at her Beverly Hills home). It is unclear if officers found the painkillers in the 39-year-old singer's home or actually on Love, who surrendered to cops this morning and was later released on $20,000 bail. Love is already facing a misdemeanor count of being under the influence of "opiates and cocaine," a charge stemming from an incident that occurred hours before her OD. She was arrested after police were summoned to an L.A. home where Love had allegedly broken several windows. (2 pages)
