The singer is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs following an arrest on US Route 101. She faces a year of probation.
Singer Britney Spears has been summoned to court in Ventura County following charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. This was reported by the Associated Press, according to UNN.
Details
The prosecutor's office filed misdemeanor charges following her arrest on March 4. Her attorney is expected to represent her interests at Monday's hearing, as personal attendance is not mandatory.
According to law enforcement, Spears was pulled over for speeding and reckless driving on US 101. She underwent sobriety tests, after which she was detained.
Possible court decision
Prosecutors noted that the case will be handled under standard procedure for similar cases without aggravating circumstances.
This refers to the possibility of a plea deal known as "wet reckless," which involves a year of probation, mandatory completion of a driver education course, and payment of a fine.
The prosecutor's office also took into account that the singer voluntarily checked into a rehabilitation center after the incident.
