Courtney Love
Free To Leave Home
A Los
Angeles judge has released singer
Courtney
Love
from a court home detention order because
of her efforts to combat drug
addiction.
Judge
Rand Rubin ordered Love not to leave home
in November, following her release from a
drug rehab clinic.
"I feel
like I'm getting my creativity back and
that I've put a very gnarly drug problem
behind me", Love said at the progress
hearing.
Love is
on probation for drug offences and
attacking a woman with a
bottle.
The
incident happened after Love found
musician Kristin King in her boyfriend's
home. The singer pleaded no contest to
assault in February 2005.
Ms King,
the woman she hit with a whisky bottle and
a large lit candle in April 2004, is suing
Love over the incident.
Judge
Rubin extended Love's probation to March
2007 at Friday's progress hearing and
ordered her to attend
counselling.
He also
told her to continue twice-weekly random
drug and alcohol testing and avoid places
where alcohol is the main drink on sale. A
date of 12 May 2006 was set for a further
progress hearing.
Under
house detention Love had been allowed to
leave home only under certain
circumstances, such as visits to the
doctor or her probation
officer.
Prior to
being confined at home, Love had been in a
live-in drug rehabilitation centre which
she had been ordered to attend in
September 2005 for violating her probation
by using drugs.
She was
allowed to leave early by Judge Rubin,
having originally been ordered to stay for
180 days. The judge had again praised her
efforts to beat drug and alcohol
addiction.
In
February 2005, Love also pleaded guilty in
a case involving a forged prescription. In
May 2004, she pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanour charge of being under the
influence of cocaine.
