Faith Evans Arrested on Drunken Driving Charge

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) Grammy-winning singer Faith Evans has been arrested after being stopped at a drunken driving checkpoint in the Los Angeles area.

Officer Cleon Joseph of the Los Angeles Police Department says that Evans, 37, was arrested Saturday night near Marina del Rey on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving.

He says she was held for a few hours and released on bail Sunday morning. Her car was impounded.

The R&B singer is the widow of rapper Christopher Wallace, also known as the Notorious B.I.G. She won a Grammy in 1998 for the song "I'll Be Missing You."

In 2004, Evans and her current husband, record company executive Todd Russaw, were arrested and changed with possession of marijuana and cocaine after a traffic stop near Atlanta and spent 13 weeks in rehab.

A reality series chronicling Evans' life is reportedly in production, and a new album is scheduled for release in October.

A message left with Evans' agent Sunday was not immediately returned.
