Britney Spears will avoid jail time after she agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge following her arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
A lawyer for the 44-year-old appeared in court in on Monday and pleaded guilty to reckless driving involving drugs or alcohol. Spears was not required to attend the hearing.
She was arrested on 4 March on a southern California highway after driving her BMW “erratically at a high rate of speed”, authorities said.
Spears reportedly checked herself into a rehabilitation treatment facility afterwards. Her representatives have called the incident “completely inexcusable”.
