Britney Spears' legal jeopardy intensified in California this week after reports said pills allegedly found when she was arrested on suspicion of drink driving in Ventura County on Wednesday were being tested for narcotics, a detail that could push the case beyond a straightforward DUI if confirmed. Spears, 44, was arrested at 9:28 p.m. local time on March 4 and is due in court on May 4, according to the report cited by OK!.
For context, the latest twist followed an arrest triggered by a police dispatch call about a car said to be swerving 'in and out of lanes' and 'speeding' in Ventura County, with officers describing the vehicle as a '2026 black BMW convertible.' Spears was then taken to hospital for a blood alcohol test, which reportedly returned a reading of 0.06, below California's 0.08 legal limit, before she was released at about 6 a.m. on Thursday.
