Britney Spears Arrested in California for DUI Britney Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California, on Wednesday night for driving under the influence, according to law enforcement sources. The pop star was handcuffed by the California Highway Patrol around 9:30 PM and later booked by the sheriff’s department around 3 AM. She was released from jail approximately 6 AM the following day, as noted in inmate records. The incident occurred in Westlake Village, near Spears’ home, where she was pulled over by officers. She was immediately taken to a hospital for a blood test to determine her blood alcohol content, as confirmed by multiple sources close to her. Spears did not sustain any injuries during the arrest, and the hospital visit was solely for the purpose of testing. TMZ has contacted her team for comment but has not yet received a response. This arrest follows a recent legal victory for Spears, who was granted a permanent restraining order against a Louisiana man who allegedly harassed her by appearing at her Los Angeles-area home after sharing “disturbing social media posts.” The restraining order marks a significant legal development in her ongoing efforts to protect her privacy and safety. Spears’ legal troubles are not new. In 2007, she faced misdemeanor charges and a potential jail sentence for an alleged hit-and-run incident in Los Angeles. The case was dismissed after she paid the owner of the damaged vehicle and a mistrial was declared due to a deadlocked jury in her trial for driving without a California license. Following the hit-and-run incident, Spears lost custody of her two sons with Kevin Federline amid public concerns over her alleged substance abuse and erratic behavior.#los_angeles #california_highway_patrol #britney_spears #westlake_village #ventura_county
