Britney Spears was arrested Wednesday night in Southern California and booked early the following morning, though the charge was not clear, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's office website.

Britney Spears briefly arrested


A message seeking comment was left with her representative as well as the California Highway Patrol, which was identified as the arresting agency. Spears was arrested around 9:30 pm in Ventura County and released on Thursday, sheriff's office records show. She has a May 4 court date scheduled.



A representative for Spears told BBC News: "This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable.

"Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney's life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.

"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 well being."

About Britney's nude beach photo

Recently, the singer made headlines after she dropped nude pictures of herself posing on the beach. 

 She held her arms up to her chest and looked back at the camera behind her, as she censored her butt with a rose emoji. The singer, who didn't include a caption with her post, wore her hair in a half-up, half-down style.

As per ‘People’, Britney shared a similar photo on Instagram back in August. That image showed the mom of two posing with her arms stretched above her head, as she looked out a large window. With her back facing the camera, Spears wore nothing but a pair of black knee-high boots, and she used the same rose emoji to cover her butt. The ‘Toxic’ singer explained in her 2023 tell-all memoir, ‘The Woman in Me’, why sharing her risque selfies with the world brings her “a lot of joy”.
