The pop star was sentenced to 12 months summary probation and one day in jail, credited as time served, by Ventura County Commissioner Matthew Nemerson.
She was also fined $571.00 and must attend a three-month DUI program, where drivers complete 30 hours of class time. Her vehicle is authorized to be searched for drugs and alcohol.
In addition, Spears agreed to see a psychologist once a week and a psychiatrist twice a month.
“Through her plea today, Britney has accepted responsibility for her conduct. She has taken significant steps to implement positive change which is clearly reflected in the Ventura County District Attorney’s decision to reduce the charge in this case and dismiss the DUI,” Goldstein said in a statement following the arraignment.
“Britney appreciates this discretion and is also grateful for the outpouring of support she has received.”
