Britney Spears charged with hit and run
While certainly not the most serious crime, Britney Spears is in trouble with the law. Spears was charged with hit-and-run following a minor car collision in a parking lot. The problem for Spears is that the whole thing was caught of video by a paparazzi and has been airing on the internet. The victim filed a police report, probably after being told that Spears was the one who hit her car. As a result, charges were filed by the city attorney.
The charges, which also include driving without a valid California license, carry a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, but I really doubt that Britney would get more than a fine in this case.
For a video of the “crash,” visit CelebTV. The damage to the car does not look that extensive. In the video, Britney seemed only concerned with the condition of her own car. CelebTV also has an interview with the victim.
