Britney Spears Is Charged With D.U.I.

NY Times - Britney Spears was charged on Thursday with driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, a misdemeanor, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said. The criminal complaint did not specify the type of drug that prosecutors say Ms. Spears had taken, and a spokesman for the district attorney’s office would not provide details.

Ms. Spears is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday in Ventura County Superior Court. In a news release, officials said she is not required to attend the arraignment because she faces only a misdemeanor charge.
