Pop star Britney Spears was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and later released.
According to Reuters and the Associated Press on the 5th (local time), Britney Spears was stopped at a DUI checkpoint on the night of the 4th in Ventura, California, then taken to a hospital for a blood alcohol test. Her vehicle was also towed.
Spears is currently released for now. Spears is scheduled to appear in court on May 4. Earlier in 2007, Spears was indicted on a hit-and-run charge that caused property damage.
A Spears Spokesperson said in a statement to U.S. media, "There is absolutely no excuse," and added, "Britney will do the right thing and follow the law. We hope this will be the first step toward change in Britney's life."
