British singer Amy Winehouse was charged Wednesday in connection with an assault at a theatre after disrupting a Christmas pantomime, police said.
Thames Valley Police charged the 26-year-old with common assault and a public order offence following an incident at Milton Keynes Theatre on Saturday.
Winehouse is alleged to have attacked a theatre manager after disrupting a performance of "Cinderella", which stars US actor Mickey Rooney.
The singer was arrested after she voluntarily attended the police station in Milton Keynes, southern England.
Winehouse was freed and is due to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court on January 20.
Winehouse rocketed to fame after winning five Grammy awards off the back of her 2006 second album "Back to Black" and the hit single "Rehab", but has since been engaged in a well-documented struggle with drugs.
