Ventura County Sheriff Withholds Britney Spears' Mugshot Under Records Policy

Under a policy limited to violent or acute‑threat cases, her March 4 DUI‑related booking photo will not be released.

Overview

Officials say the department releases booking photos only for violent crimes or acute public threats, so her image will remain nonpublic.
California Highway Patrol stopped Spears in Ventura County on March 4, reported signs of impairment, and took her into custody at 3:02 a.m. before releasing her about three hours later.
Police say she underwent multiple sobriety tests and is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and drugs, which are allegations pending the legal process.
A court appearance connected to the incident is scheduled for May 4.
Manager Cade Hudson called the arrest regrettable and inexcusable and urged support, while anonymous media accounts described her as emotional during the stop.
