According to jail records reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter, the 44-year-old pop star was taken into custody on Wednesday night at around 9:28pm local time by officers from the California Highway Patrol.

Spears was later booked into a local jail at approximately 3:02am, several hours after the arrest. Authorities have not yet publicly released further details about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

It remains unclear whether formal charges will be filed or if Spears has a scheduled court appearance related to the arrest.

Spears, one of the most influential pop stars of the 2000s, has remained a frequent subject of media attention in recent years, particularly following the end of her conservatorship in 2021.
