Britney Spears is likely to avoid jail time in her recent DUI case, according to Ventura County officials. Prosecutors have officially filed a misdemeanor DUI charge, but because Spears has no prior DUIs, there was no crash or injury, and her blood alcohol level was low, she’ll likely be offered what’s known as a “wet reckless.” A wet reckless is a standard deal for first?time offenders. It allows someone to plead guilty to reckless driving involving alcohol, receive 12 months of probation, complete a DUI class, and pay state?mandated fines — all while avoiding a full DUI conviction. Officials say this type of resolution is common, especially when the person shows they’re taking steps to address underlying issues. Spears recently checked herself into a treatment facility, something her rep confirmed earlier this month. A source said her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were a major reason she agreed to seek help. Spears is scheduled to be arraigned on May 4, but because this is a misdemeanor, she doesn’t have to appear in person — her attorney can go for her. The arrest happened on March 4, after her black BMW was reported for speeding and driving erratically. Officers said she showed signs of impairment, failed field sobriety tests, and was arrested before being released the next morning.
