All about Britney Spears' DUI arrest

Britney Spears was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) on March 4, in Ventura County, California, after police responded to reports of an erratic driver. She ultimately avoided jail time by pleading guilty to a lesser "wet reckless" charge and was sentenced to 12 months of probation.

Officers noted the distinct odour of alcohol, as well as red, watery eyes and slurred speech. When asked to step out of the car, Spears initially refused, citing fears of harassment, and offered to make the officers food at her house. She also stated, "I wasn't even drinking. I had a mimosa this morning".

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) pulled Spears over on the 101 Freeway after a 911 call reported a swerving, speeding driver. She was initially charged with a misdemeanour for driving under the combined influence of alcohol and prescription drugs, such as Adderall.
