Britney Spears pleads guilty to reckless driving in minor DUI case
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
LOS ANGELES – Pop star Britney Spears pleaded guilty on Thursday to reckless driving in a misdemeanor case related to driving under the influence of alcohol, following her arrest last month by California Highway Patrol officers on a highway in the southern part of the state. Spears was released and sentenced to 12 months of probation on Monday morning in Ventura County Superior Court. She was not required to appear due to the charge being classified as a misdemeanor. Prosecutors filed a single misdemeanor charge against the 44-year-old pop superstar on Thursday following her arrest on March 4. Since then, she has voluntarily entered a substance abuse treatment center. As this is a misdemeanor charge, she is not obligated to appear, and her absence will not harm her case. It is unlikely she will attend, although her representatives have not commented on the legal matter or her plans. A representative previously described her actions as unjustifiable and stated that, ideally, they would serve to promote a long-needed change in her life. The singer has a residence in Ventura County, just across the border from Los Angeles County. She was arrested near there. The arraignment will take place in the city of Ventura, a coastal community of about 110,000 residents, approximately 70 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
