London, Dec 25 (Inditop.com) Singer Amy Winehouse will appear in court next month for allegedly kicking a theatre manager in the groin, reports The Sun.
The star, 26, was charged with common assault when she went to a police station with her lawyer yesterday. She attacked theatre staff at a holiday pantomime show in Buckinghamshire.
Winehouse is due to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates’ Court Jan 20.
Milton Keynes Theatre front-office manager Richard Pound, 27, allegedly had his hair pulled, was punched and kicked between the legs, reported the newspaper website thesun.co.uk.
Winehouse became boisterous and shouted obscenities at the cast of “Cinderella”, which included Anthea Turner, veteran Mickey Rooney and Bobby Davro.
At one point, she shouted: “He’s f***ing behind you” and stood up during the show.
“A woman from Hertfordshire has been charged in connection with an assault at Milton Keynes Theatre on Saturday night. Amy Winehouse, aged 26, was charged with a Section 5 public order offence and common assault under the name Amy Civil,” said Thames Valley Police.
