Alleged Winehouse Drug Dealers Done In

Amy Winehouse's beloved Blake may be getting some incarcerated company.
A couple suspected of acting as Winehouse's drug dealers have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and a form of Ecstasy by London police.
The arrest came about in the wake of an investigation into the infamous home footage of Winehouse, taken last January, in which she searches for her cat, brags about having taken a Valium and smokes an unknown substance from a pipe, among other unflattering behaviors.
In addition to Winehouse, the twosome are also under suspicion for supplying drugs to fellow Brit It girl Peaches Geldof, the 19-year-old daughter of global do-gooder and Live 8 organizer Bob Geldof.
Scotland Yard charged 34-year-old John Blagrove and his 22-year-old girlfriend, Cara Burton, after officers seized a memory stick from the couple's computer that contained footage of Winehouse smoking the unknown substance—stills of which were published in the Sun tabloid earlier this year—and Geldof handing cash to a man believed to be a drug dealer, video of which also made the British tabloid rounds last month.
The Winehouse footage was handed off to police by the ever-vigilant crack (so to speak) staff at the Sun on Jan. 22.
Both Blagrove and Burton face two counts of the conspiracy charges, which stem from deals reportedly done between Jan. 17 and March 3 of this year.
Winehouse herself was arrested for her part in the incoherent video May 7, after voluntarily turning up at a London police station.
The pair have been released on bail and are due to appear at Thames Magistrates Court on July 1.
