Overview
- Spears pleaded guilty to a reduced “wet reckless” on May 4, receiving 12 months of probation with one day credited.
- The plea dismissed the DUI count and requires a DUI class, about $571 in state fees, and regular court‑ordered visits with a psychologist and a psychiatrist.
- Police arrested her on March 4 near her Ventura County home after a test showed a 0.06 blood‑alcohol level, which is below California’s 0.08 limit.
- She entered rehab in April, completed a short stay in early May, and has now posted about a “spiritual journey,” sharing a photo holding a baby snake during a pet store visit with her kids.
- Ventura County prosecutors say “wet reckless” resolutions are common for first‑time cases with a low BAC and no crash, especially when a defendant shows progress in treatment.
