Britney Spears' DUI Charge: Wet Reckless Plea & Rehab

0:00On April 30th, Britney Spears just got hit with an official misdemeanor charge for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol in Ventura County, California. This stems from her arrest, back on March 4th, when highway patrol pulled her over around 9.30 p.m. She spent the night in custody, got released by 6 a.m. the next day, and now the District Attorney's Office has made it official. Prosecutors are offering her a deal, called a wet reckless plea, since she has no prior DUIs, her blood alcohol was low, and nobody got hurt, or crashed. That means pleading guilty to reckless driving involving booze or drugs, skipping jail time altogether. Her teen called the whole thing inexcusable at first, saying she'd followed the law and use it as a turning point for real change in her life, with the help she needs. They also confirmed she checked herself into rehab, voluntarily, earlier this month. Under the deal, she faced 12 months of probation, a DUI class, and some fines and fees, with credit for the time she already served.
