Britney Spears is in trouble after being arrested on March 4th while driving her black BMW. The Womanizer singer was detained for driving fast and dangerously on a California freeway. She appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and underwent a series of sobriety tests on the spot. Following these tests, the mother of Sean and Jayden James was arrested and placed in detention in a Ventura County jail. Britney Spears was later released on bail the day after her detention. A spokesperson for the American pop star broke the silence and described her actions as “completely inexcusable.” He also stated that this would be “the first step in a long-awaited change in Britney’s life.”
