Details of the Arrest

Spears, 44, was caught swerving in and out of traffic by the California Highway Patrol on Wednesday night. She was handcuffed around 9:28 p.m. and subsequently booked at 3:02 a.m., later released at 6:07 a.m. after having her blood drawn to determine alcohol levels.

Upon booking, Spears was reportedly emotional and expressed feelings of shame and embarrassment over the incident, hoping not to disappoint her fans or face public judgment again.

Response from Her Manager and Family

Cade Hudson called the DUI arrest an "unfortunate incident" and emphasized that Spears plans to comply with the law while seeking support. Her sons are expected to spend time with her, and there is talk of formulating a plan for her well-being.
