VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — Britney Spears was arrested Wednesday night in Southern California and booked early the following morning, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s office, which didn’t say what charge she faces.

Messages seeking comment were left with the sheriff’s office; the California Highway Patrol, which was identified as the arresting agency; and Spears’ representative.

Spears was arrested around 9:30 p.m. in Ventura County and released on Thursday, sheriff’s office records show. She has a May 4 court date scheduled.

Spears, 44, born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana, was a teen pop phenomenon who became a defining superstar of the ’90s and 2000s. She rose to fame from Disney Channel’s “The Mickey Mouse Club” to MTV and beyond, with such era-defining hits like “… Baby One More Time,” “Oops! … I Did It Again” and “Toxic.”

Forty-four y/o Britney Spears was arrested for suspected Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Ventura County. She was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol, booked into jail around 3 am, and released shortly after 6 am. The incident occurred near her home, and she is scheduled to appear in court on May 4.

She has been a mess for awhile.

Sale of her publishing rights for $200 million is another one.

Too bad she doesn’t have help.

You have to drive through Ventura to get from

Charges not clear, means cooch-n-titties.

I tapped out on that after Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton.

My wife of 44 years is more than enthusiastic to throw some shade on that bunch..

Thank You, Dear!

She’s suffering from Satanic possession.

She needs an exorcist, not a judge and jury.

Lots of talent and lots of mental issues - there’s a long list of people like this.

By law. If you test positive for "DUI" then you must be held for 8 hours, for your safety and the safety of others.

Not guilty

She really needs to stop drinking booze.
IF not, she will end up dead soon.

There were videos on Twitter doing some strange dance while holding butcher knives. People have wondered if she’s lost it.

Yes, please leave her alone. Like Brittney, I have suffered from mental illness much of my adult life. Yeah, she's a celebrity and easy to pick on, but getting arrested for DUI?? Let it go.

Someone worth hundreds of millions of dollars does not need to drive.

Hire someone that doesn’t drink, smoke, curse, or have any other problems, and pay them $100,000 a year to drive you 24 x 7 where ever you want to go.

Or, uBer, Lyft, Waymo, and have dozen other ride services - or good old “Yellow Cab”. Heck, you can do a limo, if you want - and it’ll still be a better decision.

She’s already outlived Keith Moon by 13 years (knock on wood).
