Authorities say Britney Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California, and later released. According to the county sheriff's office, Spears was arrested around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and released early Thursday, though it did not say what charge she faces. Messages seeking comment were left with the sheriff’s office; the California Highway Patrol, which was identified as the arresting agency; and Spears’ representative. Her next court date is scheduled for May 4. Spears, born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana, was a teen pop phenomenon who became a defining superstar of the ’90s and 2000s.
