Britney Spears is facing a misdemeanour DUI charge in Ventura County, California, after prosecutors filed a criminal complaint on 30 April 2026 over her arrest on 4 March, with a reported plea deal now offering the pop star a way to avoid jail through probation and treatment.
The proposed terms, outlined by prosecutors but not yet approved in court, would see Britney serve 12 months' probation, complete a DUI class and receive credit for time spent in rehab, in exchange for pleading to a reduced 'wet reckless' offence rather than a full DUI conviction.
