New details have emerged surrounding Britney Spears‘ arrest in March.
According to a report from Us Weekly published on Thursday, May 21, another driver told police that Spears, 44, was “traveling at high speeds and swerving.”
“[The subject] continued to drive in the #2 lane and did not immediately react to my emergency lights. I activated the [police car’s] siren to get the driver’s attention,” an officer wrote in the report obtained by the publication.
Law enforcement officials noticed a “distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage” when they pulled the “Womanizer” singer over near her home in Ventura, California. The report also stated that Spears’ “speech was rapid and slurred, her gait was unsteady, and she was fidgeting with her fingers.”
They stated the pop star was wearing a “worn” green dress and purple sandals at the time and that her eyes were “red and watery” with dilated pupils.
Spears reportedly told the officer, “I could probably drink four bottles of wine and take care of you. I’m an angel,” after admitting to drinking one mimosa earlier in the day.
According to the report, she spoke in a British accent and her moods fluctuated between “confrontational and agitated to flamboyant.”

The Crossroads star said she had been taking a combination of prescribed medications, including Lamictal, Prozac and Adderall. She also noted that the last thing she had eaten was some ice cream at around 3 p.m.
Police also discovered a bottle of Adderall not prescribed to her in her handbag and an empty glass of wine in the cup holder of her car.
The officer wrote in the police report that after he “instructed Spears to exit [the car,]” she “initially refused.”
“Spears related she had been pranked and harassed in the past and did not want to exit,” the official continued, adding that the Grammy winner stated that she “wanted to speak to her lawyer and had the right as a woman not to exit her vehicle.”
Authorities initially brought Spears to the CHP’s Moorpark office for a Drug Recognition Evaluation before later taking her to Los Robles Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, California, where a blood sample was collected.
“In an attempt to delay the blood draw, Spears related she needed to use the restroom. While in the restroom. Spears became argumentative and belligerent,” the officer stated. “I placed Spears in handcuffs and placed her in the right front seat of the [police vehicle].”
