Britney Spears Charged with DUI in California
Britney Spears faces a misdemeanor DUI charge after a March traffic stop in Ventura County; arraignment is scheduled for May 4.
Britney Spears has been charged with driving under the influence in California, a misdemeanor tied to a March traffic stop in Ventura County. Prosecutors filed the charge this week and Spears is scheduled to be arraigned on May 4.
Authorities say the 911 call described a black BMW convertible moving with erratic braking, swerving and driving with a taillight not functioning when pulled over by the California Highway Patrol around 3 a.m.
Spears was booked by the sheriff after the stop and released a short time later following processing.
A representative previously spoke about the incident as regrettable and indicated that Spears is taking steps toward well-being, including a voluntary check into a treatment center earlier this month.
The latest case continues the public narrative around the pop star and her recovery efforts, long documented in entertainment coverage and fan interest. Arraignment date has been set and no further details were released by authorities.
