Spears was subsequently booked at 3:02 a.m. on Thursday, March 5, and released around 6:07 a.m. Spears was released via a “cite and release” process, which meant she was issued a citation rather than held in jail.
At the time of her arrest, Spears was handcuffed and taken into custody before being booked and released. Early reports state the singer was alone at the time of her arrest.

In October 2025, video circulated online allegedly showing Spears driving erratically after leaving a restaurant in Thousand Oaks. Witnesses claimed she swerved between lanes and nearly hit a pedestrian while leaving the parking lot. In response, Spears claimed she was not the driver, saying it was actually a “lookalike.”
