Britney Spears Arrested on Suspicion of DUI in California

Pop icon Britney Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence after being stopped by the California Highway Patrol late Wednesday night. Authorities detained the 44-year-old singer around 9:30 p.m., though she was later released the following morning under a “cite and release” procedure. Spears is expected to appear in court on May 4. The incident adds another chapter to the star’s turbulent public life, which has seen intense scrutiny since the end of her conservatorship.
