Britney Spears enters rehab after DUI arrest in California

Britney Spears has entered a substance abuse therapy facility simply over a month after she was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk and medicines.

A consultant for Spears stated in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Sunday (Apr 12) that the 44-year-old pop celebrity had voluntarily checked herself into the ability.

On Mar 5, California Highway Patrol officers obtained a report {that a} BMW was driving quick and erratically on US 101 in Ventura County close to the Los Angeles County line, the CHP stated.

Spears, who lives within the space, took a collection of area sobriety exams and was arrested on suspicion of driving below the affect of a mix of alcohol and medicines, authorities stated. She was taken to a county jail and launched a number of hours later.

Investigators turned over the case on Mar 23 to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, which plans to decide on prices in opposition to Spears earlier than a scheduled May 4 courtroom date.

A consultant on the time referred to as Spears’ actions “completely inexcusable” and stated it will ideally be “the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life.”

Spears has largely put aside her music profession. She has not toured in practically eight years and has not put out an album in practically a decade.

In 2021, she regained management of her life selections and funds when a court-ordered conservatorship was dissolved after practically 14 years. Two years later, she launched a bestselling memoir, The Woman In Me.
