Stressed: Sinead O'Connor, pictured outside her home this week, has spoken about her post-wedding search for drugs

Sinead O'Connor has spoken about being handed Class A drugs after taking her new drug-counsellor husband on a marijuana hunt on their wedding night.
The Irish singer says her fourth marriage was in trouble from the start and the wild search on the mean streets of Las Vegas led to their eventual split 16 days later.
The 45-year-old insists she still loves Barry Herridge, 38, but says she ended their relationship on Christmas Eve because of the pain he was in.

Radiant: Sinead glowed with happiness as she married drugs counsellor Barry Herridge in Las Vegas on December 8

The couple met online four months ago after Barry responded to a plea by unlucky-in-love Sinead asking for potential suitors to come forward.
They married on December 8 in a quickie wedding at the famous Little White Chapel in the Nevada state.

Over before it started: Sinead was snapped at the door of her home in Bray in a bath towel, after admitting her marriage begun to unravel within three hours of the ceremony

Sinead told The Sun that she took him on a search for cannabis afterwards.
'We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous.
'I wasn't scared — but he's a drugs counsellor. What was I thinking?
'Then I was handed a load of crack. Barry was very frightened — that kind of messed everything up a bit really.'

Legally binding: A spokesperson for the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas confirmed that the couple would have to take legal action to dissolve the wedding

The purchase or possession of cannabis is an offence in Nevada, subject to a fine of up to $600 for a first offence.
But far more serious might be the repercussions for the Glenageary-born singer’s music career.
For the U.S. authorities routinely refuse travel and work visas to those who have committed ‘crimes of moral turpitude’.

These crimes include ‘a violation (or conspiracy or attempt to violate) any law or regulations of a State, the United States or a foreign country relating to a controlled substance'.
In 1992, Miss O’Connor appeared to advocate marijuana smoking and in a 1999 Irish Times interview, she admitted to smoking ‘weed’, saying: ‘I do not take drugs – I smoke a little weed now and again, which I told the social workers and they laughed.
‘I do not take drink or any other drugs. Everybody knows that.’

Exes: Sinead's first husband was to music producer John Reynolds

Split: She had a child with Frank Bonadio
