The incident reportedly took place in Westlake Village, California. Spears was then transferred to the Ventura County jail, and the case remains under review with official results still pending, according to the source.
The report also states that Spears’ blood alcohol level was 0.06, while the legal limit in California is 0.08. However, it notes that drivers may still be detained if authorities believe behaviour behind the wheel is unsafe or erratic.
Citing US Weekly, the source says 911 dispatch audio described the driving as “in and out of lanes,” “speeding,” and included mentions of “braking, swerving” and a vehicle “driving with no taillight.”
A statement attributed to Spears’ representative in the source describes the incident as “inexcusable,” adding that she intends to comply with the law and take the right steps going forward.
