Mindy McCready may be out of the hospital, but she still has a rough road ahead of her.
The troubled country singer was released from a Florida hospital Tuesday, just four days after a drug overdose described as a failed suicide attempt.
The 29-year-old Fort Myers native was "despondent," her mother, Gayle Inge, told the Fort Myers News-Press. Inge, who was with McCready throughout her stay at the undisclosed Tampa-area hospital, added: "Every time she seems to get through something, something else happens."
McCready was found unconscious at the Holiday Inn Harborside in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, on Friday. According to a police report, McCready had ingested large amounts of two substances and downed a hefty amount of alcohol. Authorities declined to identify the substances, as they said doing so would violate the singer's privacy.
At the time she was discovered, she was accompanied by aspiring country singer William McKnight, who identified himself as her fiancé. He turned over to police a four-page suicide note attributed to McCready. In the note, which was not released to the public, McCready mused about her troubled relationship with McKnight and bid farewell to friends and family members, according to a police report.
McKnight was arrested in Nashville in May on charges of attempted murder after he allegedly broke into McCready's home in a jealous rage and beat and choked her until she was unconscious.
Last month, he posted $130,000 bail and was released. The couple have apparently since reconciled.
"No criminal charges are anticipated against McCready or McKnight, and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office will be taking no further action in this matter," a press release posted on the agency's Website said Wednesday.
It's the one bright spot in what's been a downward spiral for the former country darling, who burst onto the Nashville scene in 1996 with the smash song "Guys Do It All the Time" off her hit debut, Ten Thousand Angels.
She pleaded guilty last year to using a fake prescription to obtain the painkiller OxyContin at a pharmacy in Tennessee. She was fined $4,000, sentenced to three years of supervised probation and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.
In May, McCready was charged with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.
The songbird had been due in a Tennessee courtroom Monday for a probation-violation hearing. A judge ordered her attorney to produce a note from her doctor by Wednesday.
McCready is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Arizona on charges of identity theft, unlawful use of transportation, unlawful imprisonment and fraud. Authorities have yet to elaborate on the case, but her former lawyer said earlier this week that the case apparently involved a con artist who was swindling celebrities and that McCready had been cooperating with police before her overdose.
