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.

61. Read my lips. PRIVATE Property, no injuries. Just go with the license deal.

62. This girl, jeez ... NOTHING is going right for her!

Has she had one of the mandatory drug tests yet? Now sounds like it might be a good time for one.

I do hope she's not headed for a fullblown nervous breakdown, though --- WHAT else could go wrong for her? ... having a really, really, really bad year, 'Brit Brit'!

63. legit? its caught on tape her LEAVING the scene after hitting that other car. There is nothing bogus about it. And what's this "Driving without a Valid CA license" -- if that's the case there are countless of other times we have seen her driving a car in CA...

66. Kevin's family was reported to have filed bankrupcy and were about to loose their home around the time he filed for more custody.

67. YES! This is fantastic. Perhaps now, finally, the law will apply to her.

She is not bi-polar. She is an extreme narcissist and drug addict. She didn't even care enough about the other vehicle to even look at it. Even when she knew she was being photographed and still couldn't even fake concern for another person's property.

And of course she is driving without a valid license! Drivers Licenses are for regular people. Ms. Britney fancies herself above it all. .... Center of attention ...

I hope she gets a criminal record out of this.

68. Actually she left information at the accident ... that's how the guy knows it was her car that hit his. What she didn't do was file an accident report at the police dept and this is why she has an invalid license. The same thing happened to the prosecutor's wife ... you know the one that arrested Paris.

72. How can u purchase a vehicle without a valid license. I do know in some states u do not have to show proof of insurance at the time of purchasing a vehilce. Not sue if California is a no fault state or not. If it is u do have to show proof of insurance even if u pay for the vehicle in full. Did not know that she did try to locate the owner of the vehicle. She get "Browie Points" for that. Yes she should have on her own filed a report of what she did.

73. I have a valid licsense now, but I did get a driving with a susp. lic. last year and the judge gave me either 10 days l.a. county jail or 20 days Cal-Trans work + a $487.00 fine. I chose the cal trans work and paid the $487 as well .I hope that Britney Gets the chice I did because more than likely she wont want to do jail time so cal trans work would be totally fitting. Give that girl a hoe and a rake and let her pay for breaking the law.Simple as that. "Chop-Chop Brittney, those weeds arent going to go away by themselves!"

74. How does #65 know that she left info? It wasn't on the video they showed on my T.V.
What the video did show me was that she showed no concern for the damage to the car she hit, she went directly to the front to look at her own car! Don't you think those people she pays to watch over her would have made sure she filed an accident report? She is a hot mess. (and the poor yorkie on her lap...he has no idea how much danger he is in when driving with her!)

75. She doesn't have a license??? Yet drives all the time, and remember driving with the baby on her lap? "We're just country..." Yeah, well, I'm from Louisiana too and we all have driver's licenses. Another report I read said that she has never had a valid California license. WTF?!

Kevin should have no problem getting custody or at least barring her from driving the children anywhere. She clearly is willing to put them in danger if she drives without a license.

All nails in her coffin.
