Britney Spears Checks Into Treatment After March DUI Arrest

Prosecutors are still reviewing her DUI case ahead of a May 4 hearing.

Overview

  • Spears, whose representative confirmed Sunday that she entered an undisclosed facility, checked in voluntarily to seek substance‑abuse treatment.
  • California Highway Patrol officers said callers reported a BMW driving erratically on U.S. 101 on March 4, and Spears took field sobriety tests before being arrested and later released.
  • Investigators sent the case to the Ventura County District Attorney on March 23, and prosecutors plan to decide on charges before her scheduled May 4 court appearance.
  • Her representative called the arrest completely inexcusable and said she will take the right steps as loved ones craft a care plan, with her two sons spending more time with her.
  • Some outlets have reported an unknown substance was found in her car and that her program could last about 30 days, but those details remain unconfirmed by her team or authorities.
