Britney Spears, the 44-year-old pop icon, was arrested for driving under the influence in Ventura County, California, on 4 March 2026, and now faces a court date on 4 May, with sources claiming she is pleading desperately with her sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, to stand by her amid the fallout.
California Highway Patrol officers spotted her car weaving erratically at high speed around 9.30pm that night. She showed clear signs of impairment from a mix of drugs and alcohol, failed field sobriety tests, and spent the night in custody before release the next morning.
