Britney Spears Arrested on Suspicion of DUI in Ventura County: Latest Updates and Details
Britney Spears was arrested on suspicion of a DUI in Ventura County, California. The pop star was taken into custody after allegedly speeding and swerving in a black BMW convertible. Authorities called for a Drug Recognition Expert during the incident, and Spears had her blood tested at the hospital. It is unclear if she was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both. Spears was the only person in the vehicle at the time of her arrest.
The arrest followed a permanent restraining order granted to Spears against a man who had been harassing her online since 2013. The man was arrested for trespassing at her home in 2025. Spears' Instagram page was reportedly taken down this week. Her representative called the arrest an "unfortunate incident" and stated that she would comply with the law.
Fans have expressed concern for Spears' well-being since the termination of her conservatorship in 2021. Police conducted a wellness check on her in 2023 after she posted a video of herself dancing with knives, which she later clarified were not real. Spears is scheduled to appear in court on May 4.
