  • Officers observed that Spears exhibited 'drastic mood swings' and 'rapid and slurred' speech during the stop, though her breath tests registered 0.05% and 0.06%, both below California's legal limit.
  • Under the agreement, Spears must complete a three-month, 30-hour alcohol education program, attend weekly psychology sessions and twice-monthly psychiatry visits, and pay $571 in fines.
  • Attorney Michael A. Goldstein dismissed reports that Spears left rehabilitation early as 'absolutely false,' stating she completed her treatment and is dedicated to working on her health.
