Spears Charged with Brit and Run

Posted Sep 21st 2007 11:59PM by TMZ Staff

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.

77. Unfortunately, she'll probably get a slap on the wrist just like the other bimbos have, and she'll continue her train ride into hell, taking those two innocent little boys with her. She needs a serious wake-up call, quickly -- before she's the next Anna Nicole.

78. Halle Berry kills someone in a hit and run, Oprah comes to her rescue.
Brandy kills someone ( she is a mother as well, no one questions her parenting)
Britney runs into a parked car.....OH NO!!!!!!!!! PUT HER AWAY, Makes me wonder, that's all.

79. Why would she have a license? She cannot even wear a seat belt. I like how her loser friends nearly have to carry her around. She almost looks like Elvis, before he died. Matter of time?

80. She didnt even look at the car she hit! she was just concerned about her own car!! SHE IS FRICKEN UNREAL!!!!! another example of no regard for other people's property! remember the OK interview with the dress??

83. I read on another site that Britney was sobbing coming out of her lawyer's office. It seems it is random drug test day and she knew she would FAIL.

85. Can you say, "Brit's a freakn' mess"?

86. 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!"

87. Note the place of the accident-she wont do more than 24 hrs if that. Going to a nurses residence? Guess I know where she gets those really good drugs from!!!

89. She showed absolutely no concern for the damage caused to the other car. If we needed any more proof what an arrogant pig she is. I hope she loses custody of her kids. They deserve better.

90. The nurse footage gives her the appearance of being propped up by the woman holding her by the right arm. Wonder what type of brew is in that cup...
