A DUI charge in California can have serious consequences.
Britney Spears was arrested last night on drunken driving charges in Ventura County, California.
Just last month, the singer appeared to be breaking the law in Los Angeles by holding her cell phone to her face behind the wheel of her Mercedes SUV.
In California, when a person gets a DUI, their driver’s license is automatically suspended.
There is also potential jail time, hefty fines of over $1,000, and mandatory DUI education programs.
A first offense usually carries three to five years of probation, six months of driver’s license suspension, and approximately six months of school.
Just last month, Spears appeared to be breaking the law while holding her cell phone to her face behind the wheel of her Mercedes SUV.
On February 12, he was photographed driving around Los Angeles appearing to be talking on the phone, which is illegal under California’s ‘Immunity’ law (Vehicle Code 23123.5).
No criminal complaint was filed against him regarding the incident.
However, this was not an isolated incident for Spears, who was filmed in recent months. getting into the wrong lane on the highway after a night out. At the time, sources feared she would ‘transform’ following the publication of ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoirs.
His history with police included a hit-and-run (misdemeanor) after crashing into a parked car in 2007. As reported at the time, this was dismissed after Spears paid the owner an undisclosed amount.
He was also cited for driving without a valid California license in 2008, but that was later dismissed by a judge.
In 2023, law enforcement visited Spears’ home regarding a video featuring knives, but no charges were filed.
