TAOS, New Mexico (AP) -- Lynn Anderson, who won a Grammy for "Rose Garden" in 1970, is accused of shoplifting a Harry Potter DVD from a supermarket and then punching a police officer as she was being put into a patrol car. Anderson, 57, was arrested Monday night at Smith's Food & Drug Center, said Police Chief Neil Curran. She was taken to police headquarters, where she refused the option of a written citation, he said. A Taos County magistrate released Anderson on her own recognizance. An arraignment was scheduled for later this week. Telephone calls to a listing for Anderson went unanswered Tuesday.
In December, Anderson was charged with drunken driving after police found her passed out in her car on the shoulder of a highway near Denton, Texas. Anderson, who lives in Taos, was the Country Music Association's female vocalist of the year in 1971. She released an album last year called "The Bluegrass Sessions." |
