Country singer Mindy McCready says she’s thinking of suing the Lee County Sheriff’s Office for what she’s calling “unfair treatment.”
Sheriff’s deputies say McCeady was drunk and belligerent Saturday morning, before she had to be subdued with pepper spray.
Mccready told the NBC Fort Myers affiliate that deputies pushed her to the ground and that she has the bruises on her face to prove it.
Both sides agree the conflict started in a home where the singer had fought with her mother.
She was charged with the two misdemeanors, according to booking information. McCready was released on $1,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 14.
She had a No. 1 hit in 1996 with “Guys Do It All the Time.”
She’s struggled in recent years, beginning with a 2004 conviction for fraudulently obtaining prescription painkillers. She
was on probation for that offense when she was charged with driving under the influence in 2005.
