Britney Gets Charged!

Britney Spears walked into a Van Nuys Valley police station last night and surrendered to LAPD at around 9:20pm, pacific coast time, to be booked on one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California license. Both charges are misdemeanors.

The maximum penalty is 6 months in jail. The incident occurred on August 6th, when Spears hit a parked car in a parking lot and left the scene without reporting the accident.

More than three weeks after being charged with two misdemeanor charges stemming from her August hit-and-run accident, Britney Spears was booked and fingerprinted at 9:26 p.m.

“She is being booked right now at the Van Nuys station,” LAPD Sgt. Mike Lopez confirmed. Describing the LAPD’s booking process, Sgt. Lopez explained: “She comes in and we put her information into computer, fingerprint her, lifescan and electronically scan hands and palms as well, and photograph her. She will be issued a release from custody citation, which tells her next court appearance.”
