Britney Spears and her controversial arrest: Officers’ remarks
Once the vehicle was stopped, officers reported smelling an odor of alcoholic beverages coming from inside the car. According to the report, Britney Spears admitted to having consumed a champagne mimosa approximately seven hours prior to the encounter with authorities.
The document also includes several observations made by the officers during the interaction with the singer. Among them, it mentions that she presented reddened eyes, dilated pupils and certain signs that prompted a more detailed evaluation to determine her physical condition.
Agents also indicated that they found an empty wine glass inside the vehicle and located a bottle labeled Adderall, which, according to the report, was not prescribed in the performer’s name.
During the intervention, Spears informed officers that she had ingested several prescription medications that day, including Lamictal, Prozac and Adderall. She also explained that her last meal had been ice cream consumed during the afternoon.
The report states that the singer made several comments during the procedure and expressed her desire to communicate with a lawyer before continuing to answer questions.
