Britney Spears Gets Booked On Driving Charges

The troubled singer had a very busy day yesterday when among her many daily activities, including coffee at Starbucks first thing after waking up, she made time to stop by a Los Angeles police station and turn herself in to be booked on charges in connection with an August accident she was involved in.

According to a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman, Britney Spears, who was sporting a black miniskirt and a leather jacket, arrived at the Van Nuys Community Police Station at around 9 p.m. on Monday, where she spent about an hour to be fingerprinted and have her picture taken, before being released.

The 25-year-old was required to get fingerprinted and photographed before October 25, when she is due in court. Last month, the pop singer was charged with one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run and driving without a valid license after allegedly crashing her car into another one in a parking lot on August 6.

The incident was caught on tape by the crowd of paparazzi following Britney everywhere she goes. The singer left the scene without even leaving a note.

The owner of the other car, Kim Robard-Rifkin, found out who hit her car after watching an online video of Britney, and filed a police report three days after the incident.

The mother of two faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail or a $1,000 fine for each of the counts.

According to celebrity gossip website PerezHilton.com, after emerging from the police station, Britney told reporters that police officers were really nice, and the whole thing was "Amazing."

On October 26, the pop star is due in court for a hearing in the custody case between her and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, who currently has full custody of the couple’s two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, while Britney was granted supervised visitations and, most recently, a judge ruled she can have the kids sleep over one night a week.

Prior to losing the custody of her kids to K-Fed, a judge ordered Britney to submit to random drug tests after finding she engaged in "habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol."
