The arraignment for country singer Mindy McCready has been postponed until Aug. 30.
The troubled singer had been scheduled for arraignment Friday on charges of unlawful use of a means of transportation and hindering prosecution in Mohave County Superior Court, but she did not appear. A McCready representative had contacted prosecutors in advance.
On Tuesday, the 29-year-old was released from a Florida hospital after an apparant suicide attempt. She had reportedly taken large amounts of two unidentified substances, consumed a lot of alcohol and left a four-page suicide note.
During the arraignment Monday, McCready’s co-defendant, Guillan Cissin-Deangelo, pleaded innocent. He faces the same charges as McCready in addition to unlawful imprisonment, identity theft and attemped fraud.
Lake Havasu City police have said some of the charges stem from alleged theft of a pickup truck and forcing a woman to accompany them against her will.
McCready had a No. 1 hit in 1996 with “Guys Do It All the Time.”
