NORWEGIAN police briefly arrested and then fined British soul singer Amy Winehouse for possessing and using marijuana, a lawyer working with the police in Bergen said today.

 

She spent a few hours in custody from Thursday evening to early Friday, she got a fine and then she was released,'' Lars Lothe said.

 

"The case is over for us,'' he added.

 

Winehouse was fined 500 euros ($800).

 

The singer was due to perform in Bergen, in the west of Norway, today.

 

Police arrested her with two others in a hotel bedroom in possession of seven grams of marijuana after acting on a tip-off, Mr Lothe said.

 

The award-winning singer's struggle to deal with her drink and drugs problem has been well publicised in recent months.

 

In August, she checked into a rehabilitation clinic with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil last month.

 

She also pulled out of several concerts in Britain and France, citing "health issues''.

 

Elected Best UK Female award at the MOBO (Music of Black Origin) awards in London in September, her best-known hit is Rehab.
