Turbulent scenes
The report describes a turbulent nighttime incident. Spears initially refused to get out of her car after a chase with police sirens. The officers smelled alcohol and found a stimulant. However, the singer denied being drunk. “I could probably drink four bottles of wine and still take care of you. “I’m an angel,” Spears said when questioned by an officer, according to the police report. She invited the police officers to her house: “I’ll make you food or lasagne, or whatever you want.” You also have a swimming pool.
During the incident, which lasted several hours, Spears is said to have spoken in a child’s voice and with a British accent, among other things. The report states that she spoke nonsense, swore or expressed fear. At times the officers handcuffed her.
Arrest after driving in a queue
Spears was stopped by the highway police in early March after driving in a serpentine line in California and was temporarily arrested. She was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
A little later, according to her management, the singer voluntarily went to a treatment facility. She admitted her guilt in court and thereby avoided harsher punishment. In addition to a one-year suspended sentence, there were several conditions, including therapy sessions and participation in a training program.
Worries about the pop icon
Spears, who became known for hits like “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again”, enjoyed great success, especially in the 1990s and 2000s. In recent years, however, there have been frequent concerns about the mother of two’s condition. In 2008, following personal crises, she was placed under guardianship, giving her father control over her life and finances. The scheme was ended in 2021 after a high-profile court case. (dab/sda/dpa)
