Courtney Love has been on probation for drug offences and attacking a woman with a bottle following an incident happened in April 2004, in which she hit musician Kristin King with a whisky bottle and a large lit candle as she found her in her boyfriend's home. And soon following King's lawsuit over the incident, the singer then pleaded no contest to assault in February 2005.

Thanks to her efforts to combat drug addiction that Judge Rand Rubin has on Friday Feb 3rd at a hearing complimented Love for her progress in drug treatment, and freed her from house arrest. In the decision made, the Los Angeles judge extended Love' probation to March 2007 while told her to continue twice-weekly random drug and alcohol testing plus avoid places where alcohol is the main drink on sale. She is next due back in court on May 12 later this year.
