LOS ANGELES \u2014 Britney Spears has entered a substance abuse treatment facility just over a month after she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.<\/p>\n
A representative for Spears said in an email to The Associated Press on Sunday that the 44-year-old pop superstar had voluntarily checked herself into the facility.<\/p>\n
On March 5, California Highway Patrol officers received a report that a BMW was driving fast and erratically on U.S. 101 in Ventura County near the Los Angeles County line, the CHP said.<\/p>\n
Spears, who lives in the area, took a series of field sobriety tests and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a combination of alcohol and drugs, authorities said. She was taken to a county jail and released several hours later.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Investigators turned over the case on March 23 to the Ventura County District Attorney\u2019s Office, which plans to make a decision on charges against Spears before a scheduled May 4 court date.<\/p>\n
A representative at the time called Spears\u2019 actions \u201ccompletely inexcusable\u201d and said it would ideally be \u201cthe first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spears has mostly set aside her music career. She has not toured in nearly eight years and has not put out an album in nearly a decade.<\/p>\n
In 2021, she regained control of her life decisions and finances when a court-ordered conservatorship was dissolved after nearly 14 years. Two years later, she released a bestselling memoir, \u201cThe Woman in Me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
