WHITNEY HOUSTON - WHITNEY'S DRUG CHARGES DROPPED

Drug charges against WHITNEY HOUSTON which rose from a marijuana-related incident in 2000 have reportedly been dropped.

The misdemeanour possession charges had been pending for almost eight years, since it was alleged that police caught the singer carrying marijuana at a Hawaiian airport.

While the fallen singer was not arrested at the time, she was charged with possession after authorities discovered an ounce of marijuana and three rolled joints in her possession before boarding a flight with her then husband, BOBBY BROWN.

WHITNEY had string of hits in the 1980s and 1990,s but became embroiled in a tempestuous relationship with Brown which many believe contributed to her escalating drug use.

HOUSTON finally filed for separation from BROWN in September 2006 following trips to rehab.

The divorce became finalized on April 24th last year, with HOUSTON granted custody of the couple's daughter.

According to TMZ, the pop-star has now been completely cleared of the charges.
