Britney Spears was arrested for driving under the influence in Ventura County, CA last night (March 4), TMZ reports.
Law enforcement officials told TMZ that the 44-year-old singer was pulled over and detained by the California Highway Patrol at 9:28PM local time. She was taken into custody and booked by the sheriff's department at 3:02 AM.
According to inmate records, Spears was held for three hours and released from Ventura County Sheriff's Office shortly after 6:00 AM. She is scheduled to appear in court on May 4.
Following the arrest, Spears' Instagram page was taken down.
In October, Spears was caught on video driving her BMW erratically after a night out with a friend in her Thousand Oaks neighbourhood, following “extremely hurtful and exhausting” allegations made against her by ex-husband Kevin Federline in his memoir.
