Carlene Carter Case Sent to Grand Jury
Wed Jan 8, 7:51 PM ET
GALLATIN, Tenn. - A grand jury will decide whether to indict country
music singer Carlene Carter, who has been charged with stealing a
dead man's identity to obtain prescription drugs.
Carter on Wednesday waived her right to a preliminary hearing and the
case was bound over to the Sumner County grand jury, which meets next
month, Assistant District Attorney Dee Gay said.
Carter, who is the stepdaughter of Johnny Cash (news) and daughter of
country singers June Carter Cash (news) and Carl Smith, was arrested
Dec. 12 on two counts of identity theft. If convicted, she faces two
to 12 years in prison.
According to an affidavit in the case, Carter obtained two
prescriptions for the anti-depressant Zoloft in the name of Francis
Reidy III, a boyfriend who died in November in Nashville.
She declined to discuss the case with reporters outside the
courtroom, saying only "innocent until proven guilty."
The 47-year-old Carter has a history of drug charges. She was
arrested in New Mexico in June 2001 on heroin-possession charges.
Carter's hits include "I Fell in Love" in 1990 and "Every Little
Thing" in 1993.
