Britney Spears has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol in California on Thursday, authorities have said, according to The Associated Press.
Per the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, Spears was charged with a single misdemeanor count of driving under the combined influence of alcohol and at least one drug.
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to a rep for Spears and the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.
The pop star was arrested on March 4 for DUI and released from jail the following day in Southern California.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” a rep for Spears told THR following her arrest last month. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being.”
Earlier this month, it was reported that the “Oops!…I Did It Again” singer voluntarily entered rehab. She is scheduled to appear in court on May 4 at the Ventura County Superior Court.
