Courtney Love newly charged with assault in LA

LOS ANGELES (Nirvana Fans Website) - The "Mono" star Courtney Love has attacked a woman with a bottle and a torch in April. Police has issued an arrest warrant for Love, who will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
The woman - who remains anonymous - is said to be a close friend of Love's ex-manager and former boyfriend Jim Barber. Love apparently attacked the woman at her ex-boyfriend's home in Los Angeles.

Love is already facing previous drug possession charges, for which she must undergo a drug treatment programme.
Courtney, 39, is due to appear at the Beverly Hills Superior Court later this month to answer felony charges of illegally possessing prescription pain killers.

Love's latest criminal charge was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 2, and an arrest warrant was ordered on Wednesday.
According to a press agent at the District Attorney's office, Love is exected to turn herself in Friday for the alleged assault on singer/guitarist King. Because the violation allegedly took place while Love was out on bail, her bond amount was raised from the presumptive $30,000 to $55,000. She is also charged with assault and reckless endangerment after she threw a microphone stand into the audience at a recent concert in New York City.
Love's criminal attorney, Michael Rosenstein, did not return calls for comment.

Love lost custody of her daughter Frances Bean Cobain, 12, last year following her arrest outside Barber's L.A. home.
