Celebrity Justice
Spears Charged with Brit and Run

Britney Spears has been charged with one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California license. Both charges are misdemeanors, each carrying a maximum of 6 months in jail.

The charges stem from an August 6 incident in L.A. where Spears was in a private parking lot in the San Fernando Valley.


The Los Angeles City Attorney filed charges this afternoon.

Spears' arraignment is set for October 10.

The City Attorney sent Spears a letter notifying her of the charges. That letter was mailed today.

The victim filed a police report at the LAPD North Hollywood Division on August 9 and filed a report.

After leaving her lawyer's office, Britney went to a home in Bel Air.


A neighbor says the home is owned by a nurse. Ding dang, y'all, we don't know why she was there. After that, she went to a pet store in Malibu. We'll post that video tomorrow.

31. BIPOLAR BIPOLAR BIPOLAR

Posted at 7:34PM on Sep 21st 2007 by BRITLUVR

32. oh for gods sake get your s**t together girl... When you make Kevin look like the good parent, its time for a change. Trying to be a rebel and ignoring all the advice from managers/family/industry people is retarded when you have two little ones to take care of...

Maybe she should have actually paid attention to rehab and gotten it together then.....

But given the track record for the court system there... She'll get a slap on the wrist. But as someone else said... She needs to be ordered to get serious help. I'd hate to see a mother lose her children, but maybe something needs to be done to ensure the safety of the little ones. God knows Kevin isn't much better, he just doesn't have cameras following him every second of the day to prove it.

33. RE Ya right

You are sooooooo right. NEVER GIVE THE KIDS TO LYNN SPEARS. Lynn Spears was anything other then a role model for parenting. She was a stage mother who saw this child as a CASHCOW. Brit doesn't know about things that children need...like boundries,structure, consistancy, disapiline, accountability, good character, a regular bedtime. NON EXISTENT! What can we expect from someone who never had a good role model of her own to emulate in the parenting department.

Beyond that, why didn't she just do the right thing when she hit that car? She could have avoided this mess. BAD CHOICES, always bad choices from her.

34. WHERE ARE THE PICS OF HER CRYING TODAY? DOES ANYONE KNOW????

35. She never even glanced at the car she hit! She immediately says 'did I hurt my car?' to the paps, then leaves the scene without so much as backwards glance at the car she struck. It's unbelievable.

36.
Maybe she was raped as a child and all of her bi-polar behavior is a result of sexual abuse?

38. Britney shouldn't get five minutes for this if Nicole can drive on the wrong side of the highway while drugged up and whatever else she was doing and only get a little over an hour.

But, with all Britney's money, what a crud, she didn't even leave a note. Fixing that car for the people would have been pocket change for her, but no, she leaves it for them to have to fix themselves. She is really a selfish uncaring immoral b#tch.

39. Lock her up for 6 months and give her body a chance to detox, her kids a chance to be normal, and TMZ readers some peace from her antics.

She is crazy and dangerous to her kids, herself, and Californians who drive.

I am sick of her. Please boycott everything Britney.

42. Now there's some speedy justice. WTF took them so long?? It's just about been two months!

43. OK, what do you think Britney's excuse for driving without a valid drivers license will be? Her coke dealer told her it was ok for her to drive. Britney can afford to have a limo drive her around town and it is way cheaper than all the car wrecks and bad PR of driving country.
One more thing Britney, is driving with the dog in you lap how you do it in Louisiana? I know you were raised country and all, but ding dang girl I thought you redneck people left the dogs in the back seat.

44. I am surprised it took this long to charge her. As fro not having a vaild California drivers license. Maybe, just maybe she has a license from another state, I know here in NY once you move into the state, you have 30 days to change it to a New York State license. Of course I am sure it is just one of those things Britney feels she didnt need.. Like to leave a note, Have a valid Califonia license. Even if she didnt want to leave a note with a phone number, there was enough press on the subject where if Britney REALLY wanted to, she could have gotten a hold of the persons car she damaged and took care of it all. But it was not that important, Drinking, drugging and flashing was.
