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.

91. Is she an invalid? Why do people have to consistently have to lead her around like she is a retard? Oh wait ..... I just answered my question.

95. 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.

96. 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?

97. Please stop using the same old stupid comment, "Hey Y'all!!"
in your captions. You had me at BOREDOM a year ago. With the team of people that you have working for ya, Harvey, could you puh-leeze try to add a little more creativity??

Posted at 12:54PM on Sep 25th 2007 by TMZ, Please be More Creative...

98. I don't think she's mentally ill, I think she's just really, really that stupid. I hope she loses custody. I think that will be the only way she gets real help. She needs a managment team just to run her life, forget her career. If she's that dumb to drive with no licence, she needs to be locked away in a very long term rehab for her own safety and the safety of others. I feel sorry for her kids. It's obvious they're just toys to her she carries around to get attention and then pass off to mannies if she gets bored.

99. 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??
and she's driving without a liscense? the next time someone see's her driving they should call the cops! so she'll get arrested!

102. 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.
