Britney Steers Toward Crash Settlement
Britney Spears might be close to clearing up one mess, at least.
Barely a day after the troubled pop star lost her visitation privileges with her two kids, her lawyer said that she has reached a civil settlement with the owner of the parked car she hit in August, a fender-bender that resulted in her being booked Tuesday for hit-and-run.
"It's approximately in the $1,000 range," attorney J. Michael Flanagan told People, adding that the amicable agreement, combined with the fact that Spears has finally acquired a California driver's license, could lead to the criminal charges against her being dropped.
The "Gimme More" purveyor was charged last month with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid state license, each of which carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Kim Robard-Rifkin, the owner of the 1999 Mercedes-Benz station wagon that Spears dinged up Aug. 6 in the parking lot of a Studio City vitamin store, told reporters at the time that she hoped the 25-year-old songstress would do the right thing and come forward.
But after Spears failed to get in touch, Robard-Rifkin filed a police report three days later.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ, which first reported the pending deal with Robard-Rifkin, that the hit-and-run charge could be dismissed if Spears made amends out of court.
And Spears apparently took that amends thing seriously, according to Robard-Rifkin, who told Access Hollywood that the pop princess offered to go to her house to apologize in person.
It was a nice offer, but the beleaguered singer "has way more than enough problems right now," the registered nurse said.
And most would agree.
Flanagan said that the other charge could be reduced to a traffic citation after Spears shows a judge proof that she's now licensed to drive. She's currently scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 25.
On Oct. 2, the day after she lost custody of her kids to ex-hubby Kevin Federline, Spears finally stopped by the Van Nuys Department of Motor Vehicles to be photographed and fingerprinted for her new California license.
