UPDATE:

ST. JOSEPH — D'arcy Wretzky, the former bassist for the legendary rock band the Smashing Pumpkins was arrested on a bench warrant earlier this week by Berrien County sheriff's deputies and has been sentenced to six days in jail, authorities said Thursday.

Wretzky, 42, of South Haven, was picked up by sheriff's deputies Tuesday who took her in to custody at the sheriff's office in neighboring Van Buren County, a Berrien County sheriff's official said.

Wretzky, who was being held Thursday in the Berrien County Jail, was wanted for failing to appear in Berrien County District Court on an original charge of animals running loose, authorities said.

The celebrity-gossip website, TMZ.com, reported that the case against Wretzky stemmed from an incident in 2009 during which horses she owned got loose from her property and neighbors contacted police.

A sheriff's official said a Berrien County district judge sentenced Wretzky Tuesday to six days in jail.

Information on what led to Wretzky being taken into custody in Van Buren County was not immediately available Thursday afternoon.
