The Gossip front woman Beth Ditto has been arrested while on a night out in Portland and subsequently charged with disorderly conduct.

Trouble started when Ditto was refused service at a bar because she was deemed as already too drunk.

She didn't take too kindly to this and a source that was in the area at the time says that she then: “Walked out in the middle of the street, threw off her shoes and purse and screamed, 'Obama! Obama!'”

It was her screams that alerted police, who were already in the area, of the situation and Ditto was finally arrested for her conduct at 1.42AM.

Another source who was at the claimed through social media that Beth was “blackout drunk” and “challenging people to fights”.

It was also claimed that Beth kicked a barman in the leg after he refused to serve her.

Beth has now been released from jail but is now awaiting trial which will take place at a later date. If found guilty she could be facing up to six months in prison.

Her mug shot has been released and shows that the singer was looking rather worse for wear at the time.
