Mindy McCready Overdoses on Anti-Depressants

Troubled country star Mindy McCready was admitted to a Nashville, Tennessee hospital on Friday after she overdosed on anti-depressants.

The pregnant singer, 29, was arguing with her ex-boyfriend William McKnight on the telephone, over whether his parents would help pay for her pregnancy, before she took 30 anti-depressant pills Friday morning, a police report states.

McKnight called McCready back after their previous phone call ended and when he received no answer, he contacted the police and ambulance services. Local officials say she was in a "fair condition" in the hospital.

McCready is currently embroiled in several legal problems, including her arrest for drunk-driving and a separate arrest in relation to her involvement with a conman she had been assisting police in attempting to catch.

McCready attempted to commit suicide earlier this summer, a few months after McKnight was charged with attempted murder after allegedly breaking into her home and beating her.

Last year, the entertainer was placed on three years probation after pleading guilty to obtaining the painkiller OxyContin fraudulently
