Britney Spears won’t go to jail after reaching a deal in a DUI case that began earlier this year.
The 44-year-old singer was arrested March 4 in Southern California after police said she was driving her BMW in a manner that appeared dangerous and at a high speed.
Britney was later suspected of driving under the influence.
In court on Monday, the Toxic singer’s lawyer appeared for her and accepted a lesser charge of dangerous driving involving alcohol or drugs. However, she did not attend the hearing herself.
After his arrest, the music icon reportedly checked himself into a rehab center. Her team had said the situation was not acceptable, but also said they were trying to make positive changes in her life.
The Gimme More singer’s lawyer added that she has taken responsibility for what happened and is working to improve.
He added that these measures helped the court reduce the charges and drop the DUI case.
Thanks to this agreement, Britney will avoid prison.
The case is still being monitored and more details may be revealed as the situation continues to evolve.
