BRITNEY SPEARS ARRESTED

Pop icon Britney Spears arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The 44-year-old pop star was the only person in the car. The incident happened near her Southern California home around 3am. Spears was booked and released.

Around 9 pm, a 911 call alerted the California Highway Patrol that someone in a black BMW 430i was driving erratically. After being followed by police for over an hour, the driver exited the freeway and pulled over. Officers say Spears appeared to be impaired. A series of field sobriety tests were administered. Chemical test results are pending. Also found in the case, an unidentified substance, thought to be drugs.

A statement from a Spears' camp: “This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
