- Britney Spears was arrested on March 4 in Ventura County, California, for DUI after officers responded to reports of erratic driving and detected alcohol .
- Dashcam footage shows Spears initially refusing to exit her vehicle, stating she felt "invaded" and "harassed," before eventually complying with officers. During the stop, officers noted slurred speech, an unsteady gait, and mood swings, and found unprescribed Adderall and an empty wine glass in her car.
- She also asked if the officers could sit with her in the patrol vehicle so she would not be alone. “Okay, we're going to put you in the front seat of another car,” the officer said. “Is that better? “ To which she responded, “I don't want to be by myself.”
- Spears made emotional remarks about her mother's past accident and her conservatorship, and later entered a rehabilitation facility for substance abuse and mental health.
