Britney Spears turned herself in to police last night (15.10.07).
The 'Toxic' singer, dressed in a black mini-skirt and leather jacket, arrived at Los Angeles' Van Nuys County Jail at 9.25pm to face hit and run charges relating to an incident in August.
A source from the Los Angeles Police Department said: "At approximately 9.25pm Miss. Britney Spears checked into the Van Nuys County Jail for a court ordered booking.
"She was put through standard booking procedures which included booking photographs, fingerprinting and collection of information.
"Britney was at all time co-operative in the process. She was there for approximately 45 minutes."
It is not thought Britney spent any time in a holding cell, and the troubled star opted to leave the jail via the front entrance when offered a back-route exit.
The 25-year-old star was filmed by paparazzi steering her car into a parked vehicle in a San Fernando Valley parking lot while driving without a valid licence, before fleeing the scene on August 6.
She was charged in September with one count of hit and run and causing property damage, and one count of driving without a valid California licence.
Both charges carry a maximum of six months in jail. |
