American singer, Britney Spears has been arrested in California for allegedly driving under the influence.
Spears, 44, was pulled over Wednesday night by California Highway Patrol officers, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office’s inmate records.
She was booked by the sheriff’s office around 3 a.m. Wednesday, and was released from custody hours later.
Spears is due in court on May 4.
The charges were later dropped, and Spears avoided jail time after a jury acquitted her of driving without a California license.
Shortly after that incident, Spears lost custody of her two sons with her ex-husband Kevin Federline: 20-year-old Sean Preston Federline and 19-year-old Jayden James Federline. In 2008, she was placed into a conservatorship, leaving her personal finances and affairs under the control of her father Jamie Spears.
The controversial legal arrangement came to an end in November 2021, 13 years after it was put in place.
Spears remained estranged from them until late 2024, when she reunited with Jayden.
In January, Spears posted an old tour photograph of herself sat on stage at a white piano. She captioned the image: “Sending this piano to my son this year!!! Interestingly enough, I dance on IG to heal things in my body that people have no idea about. Yup and it’s embarrassing sometimes… but I walked through the fire to save my life…”
She continued: “I will never perform in the U.S. again because of extremely sensitive reasons but I hope to be sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son… in the UK and AUSTRALIA very soon. He’s a huge star and I’m so humbled to be in his presence!!! God speed, little man!!!”
