Britney Spears Is Charged With D.U.I. Involving Drugs and Alcohol

Britney Spears was charged on Thursday with driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, a misdemeanor, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said.

The criminal complaint did not specify the type of drug that prosecutors say Ms. Spears had taken, and a spokesman for the district attorney’s office would not provide details.

Ms. Spears is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday in Ventura County Superior Court. In a news release, officials said she is not required to attend the arraignment because she faces only a misdemeanor charge.

A representative for Ms. Spears did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. I'm always amazed at the way wealthy people are unable to scrape up the cash to hire a driver.

3. Or even use an Uber when they are drinking.....it is something that needs to be considered

before being under the influence. We all make mistakes but sometimes it is self-evident.
