Arrests

Princess Eugenie is stepping down as patron of the world’s oldest human rights organization ... and the timing’s raising eyebrows after her father, former Prince Andrew, was arrested last month.

The UK-based charity Anti-Slavery International confirmed the split in a statement thanking Eugenie for seven years of support, ending with a polite send-off ... "We hope that she continues to work to end slavery."

The org didn’t waste time cleaning house -- her profile was quickly scrubbed from the website ... despite previously praising her work ''across the board with leaders in the fight against modern slavery.”

A correctional officer working in the wing where Jeffrey Epstein was incarcerated the night he died searched his case on the internet less than an hour before his death ... this according to Department of Justice records.

Noel searched "latest on Epstein in jail" and clicked on an article about documents related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, her newly released search history reveals.

Britney Spears did not try to run from cops after they pulled her over earlier this week ... despite reports to the contrary.

Here's the deal ... a new rumor is going around online that Britney led cops on an hour-long chase before she was arrested for DUI after several outlets reported the fake news.

However, California Highway Patrol Lt. Matt Gutierrez tells TMZ ... the pursuit absolutely did NOT happen.

The report seems to be based on dispatch audio ... with the first call about Britney's car coming in around 8:13 PM, before she was finally pulled over an hour later.

The lieutenant explains other drivers presumably saw her car weaving on the road and called the cops -- but that doesn't mean an officer was just waiting around the corner to arrest her. Eventually, an officer in the area spotted Britney and stopped her.

Dr. Drew says Britney Spears needs to focus on two key areas of her life after her DUI arrest ... substance abuse and bipolar disorder.

The good doc joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and we asked him about Britney firing her sober coaches in the weeks leading up to her DUI bust.

Britney Spears had pills in her possession when she was arrested for DUI ... and TMZ has learned those pills are in the process of being tested, and the results could theoretically mean jail time.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the pills were Adderall -- something she got while recently in Mexico. Our sources say one of the reasons Britney goes down to Mexico so often is to obtain the drug.

Our sources tell us ... those pills will be tested to determine if they contain pure Adderall or an additional substance. It's not uncommon that certain drugs obtained in Mexico are laced with fentanyl, cocaine, meth or other substances.

The PBA is weighing in on the situation involving Crowe, with a spokesperson telling us they're "aware of the reports regarding Cameron Crowe."

Influencer Ash Trevino ended up back in jail for allegedly violating her bond conditions ... TMZ has learned.

She was booked on March 4 and released later the same day ... the judge ended up revoking her original bond and setting new bond at $25K ... and again ordered her not to possess, purchase or use controlled substances, alcohol or firearms.

Trevino also has a curfew from 8 PM to 6 AM ... which will be enforced through the use of an ankle monitor. Regardless of the time of day, Trevino cannot go anywhere that mainly serves alcohol.

Kevin Federline is wishing his ex-wife Britney Spears the best after her DUI arrest ... and he hopes she'll makes some changes in her life.

Britney Spears’ first husband Jason Alexander is rushing to her defense after her DUI arrest ... calling people out for jumping to conclusions when the full story isn’t even out yet.

In an IG Reel, Jason -- who was famously married to the singer for just 55 hours before their annulment in 2004 -- pointed out her reported 0.06 blood-alcohol level is actually below the legal BAC limit in most states. He also said it’s possible any substances in her system could’ve been legally prescribed medication, which would change the narrative entirely.

Jason doubled down, saying it’s unfair for the internet to run with "drunk driving" speculation before the facts are confirmed ... adding rumors spread fast and people end up judged before the truth is even clear.

Sam Asghari is breaking his silence on his ex-wife Britney Spears’ DUI arrest ... though he made it pretty clear he wasn’t exactly eager to go there, saying his focus right now is on the escalating situation in Iran.

During an interview on NewsNation's "Jesse Weber Live" Thursday, the host slipped in a Britney question right at the end ... and Sam pointed out the conversation was meant to focus on the U.S. and Israel missile strikes on Iran.
