Britney Spears will not go to jail after reaching a deal in a driving case that began earlier this year.
The 44-year-old singer was arrested March 4 in Southern California after police said she was driving her BMW in a manner that appeared dangerous and at a high speed.
Britney was later suspected of driving under the influence.
On Monday, the Toxic singer’s lawyer appeared in court and accepted a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving related to alcohol or drugs. However, she herself did not attend the hearing.
After the arrest, the music icon reportedly went to a rehab center because his team said the situation was not acceptable, but he also shared that he had been trying to make positive changes in his life.
The Gimme More singer’s lawyer added that she has taken responsibility for what happened and has been working to improve.
He added that these steps helped the court reduce the charge and dismiss the DUI case.
Thanks to this agreement, Britney will avoid jail.
The case is still being followed and more details may emerge as the situation continues to develop.
