LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — Former "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss, who was released from federal prison in 1999, has been arrested for allegedly using methamphetamines, a violation of her parole, authorities said Friday.
Fleiss, 35, was taken into custody by federal marshals on Thursday afternoon after arriving for her regularly scheduled meeting with a probation officer, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Los Angeles.
Mrozek said the arrest warrant charged Fleiss with admitting to the use of methamphetamines and failing to report for her mandatory drug testing, both violations of her supervised release from a federal prison in Dublin, Calif.
