Britney Spears has checked into a treatment facility following her arrest on suspicion of operating her vehicle under the influence last month.
The Toxic singer was arrested in California on March 5 after she was seen driving “erratically”.
Police said Spears “showed signs of impairment and submitted to a series of field sobriety tests” after being pulled over.
A representative for the singer confirmed she voluntarily checked herself into the treatment facility.
Spears, who police said was alone in her black BMW 430i, was arrested for “driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol” and taken to Ventura County Main Jail, north west of Los Angeles.
A representative at the time said the “unfortunate incident” was “completely inexcusable”, adding it would ideally be “the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life”.
They added: “Her boys are going to be spending time with her.
“Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for wellbeing.”
Ventura County District Attorney’s Office will make a decision on charges against Spears before she is due in court on May 4.
In 2007, the Mississippi-born singer avoided a criminal hit-and-run trial by paying for damages after photographers pictured Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to park in a California car park, and walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.
Her arrest comes after she sold part of her rights to her back catalogue in February to music publisher Primary Wave for an unknown fee.
The purchase came after Spears’ 13-year conservatorship, which had control of her career decisions and finances, ended in 2021.
