The state of Florida said the 61-year-old singer completed a pretrial program aimed at giving first-time offenders a second chance, so the case would be dismissed. Warwick also underwent medical tests to confirm she did not have a drug problem. The Grammy winner was charged in May in Miami when 11 marijuana cigarettes were found in her lipstick case. She says she is "puzzled about exactly what happened." Compiled by P-I reporter Ellen A. Kim. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
