Britney Spears pleads guilty to reckless driving after arrest
The plea lets Spears avoid jail time and adds probation, a DUI class and fines after prosecutors cited no crash, injury or prior DUI history.
- Britney Spears pleaded guilty through her lawyer Monday to a lesser charge, allowing her to avoid jail time after authorities accused her of driving under the influence in Southern California.
- California Highway Patrol pulled her over for driving her black BMW erratically on U.S. 101, where she appeared impaired and failed field sobriety tests before arrest.
- Her lawyer Michael A. Goldstein agreed to plead to what is commonly called a "wet reckless," resulting in a year of probation, required DUI classes, and state-mandated fines.
- Prosecutors said the plea offer was standard for defendants with no DUI history, especially those showing motivation to address problems through voluntary treatment, which Spears pursued in April.
- Although Spears did not appear in Ventura County court, the hearing drew an unusually heavy media turnout for the seaside city of about 110,000 people roughly 113 kilometres northwest of Los Angeles.
