Britney Spears was arrested in March 2023 under suspicion of driving under the influence in California. During the arrest, officers noted her erratic behavior, with drastic mood swings ranging from confrontational to compliant. She reportedly had a bottle of Adderall that was not prescribed to her and an empty wine glass in her car. Although breath tests indicated blood alcohol concentrations of .05 and .06 percent, which are below the legal limit in California, her speech was slurred, and her demeanor raised concerns among the officers. She initially denied being intoxicated, claiming she had only consumed one mimosa. After her release, Spears' representative described the incident as “unfortunate” and expressed hope that it would lead to positive changes in her life. Following the arrest, Spears voluntarily entered rehab and later pleaded guilty to reckless driving, resulting in a 12-month probation sentence. In her memoir, she referred to Adderall as her “drug of choice,” highlighting her struggles with mental health and substance use.
