"Spears was arrested on suspicion of DUI on the evening of March 4, after officers observed her driving fast and erratically, according to Officer Ryan Ayers, a California Highway Patrol spokesperson."
"A representative for the pop star called the situation 'an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,' adding that 'Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law.'"
"Prosecutors noted that Spears will have the opportunity to reach a plea deal that allows her to avoid jail time, especially when they also voluntarily enter a drug and alcohol treatment program."
"About a month after Spears' arrest, a representative said she had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility, declining to specify the type of program she had entered."
Britney Spears was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol following her arrest on March 4 for erratic driving. The Ventura County district attorney's office did not disclose the specific drug involved. Spears is scheduled for arraignment but is not required to attend due to the misdemeanor charge. A representative described the incident as inexcusable and stated that Spears is committed to making necessary changes. She voluntarily entered a treatment facility about a month after her arrest, and prosecutors indicated a plea deal could allow her to avoid jail time.
