Britney Booked on Driving Oops
Britney Spears is a wanted woman no more.
The beleaguered pop star continued to make good on her court-mandated to-do list, turning herself in Monday night to the Van Nuys police station to be booked on two driving-related misdemeanor charges, as ordered by a judge earlier this month.
Spears arrived at roughly 9:25 p.m., clad in a short black dress, knee-length black boots, a black jacket and a pair of her omnipresent sunglasses, presumably to keep covering the medical affliction that demanded their presence during a custody hearing last week. She was accompanied by producer pal Sam Lufti and attorney Michael Flanagan.
The 25-year-old underwent the standard booking procedure, getting fingerprinted and photographed, and was released after 45 minutes without having to post bail. According to her case file, Britney Jean Spears, aka number 1020419, has brown hair and brown eyes, stands five-foot-five and weighs 125 pounds. (View the booking sheet.)
"It was amazing," she told reporters of her experience upon leaving the jail. "They were nice, they were really nice."
When asked whether she was relieved for the ordeal to be over with, Spears replied, "Yeah."
Spears was neither handcuffed nor placed in a holding cell during her booking and was described as being "cooperative" throughout the experience, per an LAPD spokesperson.
On Oct. 9, the "Gimme More" singer was ordered by L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Rebecca Omens to be booked on the misdemeanor charges of hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a valid California state driver's license.
She was formally charged with the offenses last month, in connection with an Aug. 6 fender-bender in Studio City. Spears was photographed dinging a parked silver Mercedes-Benz with her black Benz in the parking lot of a vitamin store. She was snapped getting out to briefly survey the damage to both cars, then taking off.
The owner of the car, Kim Robard-Rifkin, didn't think the damage was as negligible as Spears and filed a police report a few days later.
Last week, Omens postponed Spears' arraignment from Oct. 10 to Oct. 25 at the behest of Spears' lawyer, to allow him more time to try and strike a deal with Robard-Rifkin before the case goes to court. Because the charges are only misdemeanors, the pop star will not be required to show at the Van Nuys Superior Court.
Should Spears be found guilty of the charges, she faces a maximum sentence per offense of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
