Britney Spears charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs
The plea deal could bring 12 months of probation, a DUI class and fines after prosecutors cited her low blood-alcohol level and no crash or injury.
- Britney Spears faces her arraignment on Monday in Ventura following a misdemeanor DUI charge, where prosecutors offered a 'wet reckless' plea including probation and a DUI class.
- California Highway Patrol officers arrested Spears after pulling her over for driving her black BMW fast and erratically on U.S. 101, leading prosecutors to charge the 44-year-old with one misdemeanor count of driving under the combined influence of alcohol and drugs.
- Because the charge is a misdemeanor, Spears is not required to appear in court personally; her lawyer will likely attend the Ventura hearing, which follows standard protocols for defendants without prior DUI history or accidents.
- Since the arrest, Spears voluntarily checked into a substance abuse treatment facility, while a representative previously described her actions as 'completely inexcusable' and called it 'the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney's life.'
- The former 'Mickey Mouse Club' alum Britney Spears became a defining superstar with hits like 'Toxic,' 'Gimme More,' and 'I'm a Slave 4 U' before retiring from music in recent years, though her career remains subject to intense public scrutiny.
