Celebrity Justice
Lutfi Drug Probe -- Full Steam Ahead

Posted Feb 20th 2008 7:47PM by TMZ Staff

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD investigation into Sam Lutfi allegedly drugging Britney Spears is well underway.

We're told the case has now been assigned to Robbery Homicide, primarily because of the sensitive nature of the allegations and the intense media interest in Britney Spears. Sources say investigators have interviewed several witnesses regarding the drugs in Brit's system at the time she was most recently committed.

We're told the investigation had been temporarily derailed because of the death of an LAPD SWAT officer, but it's now back on track.

One source says the investigation will probably be concluded in late March.

Hey, can I join the club? I really wish people would stop enabling Spears.

Also, I just read Lynne Spears' statement which includes mention of Britney regressing to child-like behavior. Good grief, that's the oldest trick in the world that kids [small or grown up] use to get mommy and daddy to come to their "rescue." Call it a Grade A form of manipulation.

He's not going down on this...LMAO...you are the moron. The police don't think he's committed a crime and have issued a statement that they are not investigating him for anything...y'all are a bunch of hillbilly losers...I agree with the other poster...move to Saudi or something if you don't like our laws.

102. Hopefully this will be the 1st of many more investigations for Sam Lutfi! I feel kinda bad for his relations! Unless the taught him to be a sicko manipulator! Time will tell kiddos!

103. I think Federline was in on all of this drugging her also. I just wonder how many thugs were in on all of this to keep Britney drugged and away from her children. I sure hope the truth comes out soon.

So true.

And a greedy exploitative parent will only be a parent when their daughter has lots of cash and they can get control of it...lol.

105. I hope people watch Nancy Grace, starting at 10:30 p.m. EST, when the Britney segment re-airs, and you'll hear the psychiatrist for yourself saying this kind of thing happens with desperate people around mentally ill people who aren't taking their psych meds.
