In 2004, she was charged with obtaining the painkiller OxyContin fraudulently at a pharmacy. She pleaded guilty and was placed on three years' probation. She violated the probation with a drunken driving arrest in May 2005. Then she attempted suicide in July 2005, overdosed in September 2005 and slit her wrists again in December 2008. Also that year, McCready was charged in Arizona with hindering prosecution and unlawful use of transportation. Those charges stemmed from an alleged attempt in June 2005 to purchase two high-performance boats, but she claimed she was trying to stop a con man. Growing up in Fort Myers, she took seven years of private vocal lessons and later sang in karaoke bars. After getting her recording contract, she did concert appearances with top country stars including George Strait, Tim McGraw and Alan Jackson. Her other singles included "Maybe He'll Notice Her Now," ''A Girl's Gotta Do (What a Girl's Gotta Do)" and "You'll Never Know."
