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.

46. NO VALID LICENSE??? So she is ALWAYS driving without a LICENSE?? So ALL those times she talked to police or police pulled her over and JUST WARNED HER they NEVER checked her license!!!! It that is true, I'm seriously disgusted by law enforcement. They ALWAYS check my LICENSE even if it's just ends up being a warning!! WTF???????????

47. Pay the lady for the damage and tell the law to go away. Britney people with money the law cannot touch. The law picks on the poor peon with no money. Do not sweat the small details but you should fix the ladies car. Follow the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

48. x17 has a crackpot team called TEAM BRITNEY,

they protect her as well as hound her for pictures, when she does something wrong they do whatever they can to protect her..EVEN IF SHE'S BREAKING THE LAW they do whatver it takes to cover it up from law enforcement.

51. why do people feel sorry for this piece of trash, she does it to herself, welfare needs to take those kids out of there before something bad happens to them.

52. I was waiting for this to happen. How do u hit a car and get out and check your car and go about you merry way. It was caught on tape. Did she really think it was no big deal? I would be not only afraid to walk away as though nothing happend. I would feel so much guilt. Not sure how she lives with herself. What took so long to charge her. Everyone knows what their car looks like. If it were my car I would have reported Brit hit my car.

53. For the kids sake I believe that Kevin, nor Britney are spending adequate time, nor parental responsibility. I agree that the "family" needs to step in. I don't hear anything about the Federline family doing anything at all..do they even exist. Britney sounds like she has severe post-traumatic stress disorder, along with a drug and alcohol problem. Thank the Lord I have a great family that taught me about parenting. These children do not deserve this. Someone step up to the plate..infact Brad and Angelina here are two more children....

54. *wow**. She didn't even care about the car that she hit...sorta like when she didn't even care about bringing her own child into that camera mess. I was sorta feeling sorry for her, even tho it IS HER FAULT. Now I think she is narcasistic or *something*.

So...is self-centeredness a symptom of bi-polar??

Wow.

55. 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'!

56. I still have the forwarded copy of the original TMZ article about this..."Oh, lordy, thar's ma hoocher..." Classic TMZ...nothing even comes close!!!

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

58. 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.

59. 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.

60. 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...
