Courtney Love Facing Drug Charge

OCTOBER 9--Courtney Love faces up to a year in jail if convicted of being under the influence of "opiates and cocaine." The Los Angeles City Attorney yesterday filed the below misdemeanor criminal complaint against Love, who was arrested last week after admitting to cops that she broke some windows at a Beverly Hills home. While not hit with vandalism charges, the 39-year-old singer was popped on a drug count after preliminary police tests indicated that she was under the influence. Formally charged as Courtney M. Cobain, Love was released on $2500 bail and faces an October 31 arraignment. (2 pages)

Drug allegations are, uh, nothing new for Kurt's widow.
