Britney Spears' Misdemeanor DUI Charge & Treatment Plan

0:00On April 30th, Brittany Spears just got hit with a misdemeanor DUI charge from the Ventura County District Attorney's Office on April 30th. This comes almost two months after her march for the rest, for allegedly driving erratically at high speeds on the Southern California Highway in a Black BMW. Prosecutors say she was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. She set for a Raymond on May 4th in Ventura County Superior Court, and her lawyer can show up for her since it's just a misdemeanor. Those are offering her a standard deal called a wet reckless plea, where she'd emit to reckless driving involving alcohol or drugs. That means 12 months of probation, a DUI class, and some state fines and fees, especially since she has no prior record, low blood alcohol and no, crash or injuries. Her team called the incident completely inexcusable, but said she's committed to following the law and making long overdue changes in her life. They hope this leads to the help and support she needs right now.

1:00Weeks before the charges, on April 12th Spears voluntarily checked into a treatment facility. Back on March 4th, highway patrol pulled her over after spotting signs of impairment during field sobriety tests. She shares two teenage sons, a 20-year-old and a 19-year-old, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, and her loved ones are rallying to create a solid plan for her well-being, moving forward.
