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