Britney Spears Spoke with British Accent, Had 'Empty Wine Glass' During DUI Arrest

Her attorney accepted a reduced wet reckless plea after she was arrested for erratic driving and nearly side-swiping several vehicles, officials said.

  • On May 4, lawyers for Britney Spears accepted a 'wet reckless' plea deal in Ventura County Superior Court, resulting in dismissal of the misdemeanor driving under the influence charge from her March arrest.
  • Authorities charged Spears, 44, with driving under the influence after witnesses reported her vehicle swerving erratically in Ventura County on March 4. She confirmed taking multiple prescription medications including 200mg Lamictal, 40mg Prozac, and 2.5mg Adderall.
  • The plea agreement sentences Spears to 12 months of probation and one day in jail with credit for time served. She must also pay $571 in state-mandated fees and complete a 30-hour alcohol education program.
  • Attorney Michael Goldstein stated that Spears accepted responsibility for her conduct through the plea. He added that the singer "appreciates this discretion" and is grateful for support received.
  • The 'wet reckless' charge is typically offered to first-time offenders lacking prior DUI history, injuries, or crashes. Spears entered rehab on April 12, with her sons Sean Preston Federline, 20, and Jayden James Federline, 19, instrumental in encouraging her to seek help.
