On
March 5, California Highway Patrol officers received a report
that a BMW was driving fast and erratically on U.S. 101 in
Ventura County near the Los Angeles County line, the CHP said.
Spears, who lives in the area, took a series of field sobriety
tests and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the
influence of a combination of alcohol and drugs, authorities
said. She was taken to a county jail and released several hours
later.
Investigators turned over the case on March 23 to the Ventura
County District Attorney's Office, which plans to make a
decision on charges against Spears before a scheduled May 4
court date.
A representative at the time called Spears' actions “completely
inexcusable” and said it would ideally be “the first step in
long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life.”
Spears has mostly set aside her music career. She has not toured
in nearly eight years and has not put out an album in nearly a
decade.
In 2021, she regained control of her life decisions and finances
when a court-ordered conservatorship was dissolved after nearly
14 years. Two years later, she released a bestselling memoir,
“The Woman in Me.”
