Britney Spears has officially been charged with driving under the influence following a March incident in California.
Spears, 44, was charged Thursday with one misdemeanor count of DUI by prosecutors in Ventura County. She is set to be arraigned May 4.
The Independent has reached out to a representative for Spears for comment.
The “Circus” singer was pulled over March 4 by California Highway Patrol officers, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office’s inmate records.
The 911 dispatch audio obtained by US Weekly revealed that Spears was driving a black BMW 2026 convertible, with the operator describing the vehicle “erratic[ly] braking, swerving and driving with no taillight.”
She was booked by the sheriff’s office around 3 a.m. Wednesday, and was released from custody hours later.
A representative for Spears told The Independent at the time: “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.
