The resolution came two months after Spears was arrested and voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cShe\u2019s doing well,\u201d her lawyer, Michael A.

She entered a plea to reckless driving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSpears received a sentence of 12 months of summary probation. The judge ordered the singer to submit to any searches requested of her vehicle, but not her home. He said she can\u2019t use or possess any drugs without a valid prescription, and he ordered Spears to continue meeting with a psychologist once a week and a psychiatrist once a month. She also has to complete a DUI class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSpears was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/britney-spears-arrested-california-highway-patrol-1235525263\/\">pulled over and arrested<\/a> for allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/britney-spears-speaks-out-after-dui-arrest-1235538449\/\">driving under the influence<\/a> in March. Ventura County DA Erik Nasarenko previously announced she was eligible for her plea deal, which is typically offered to people with low blood levels of intoxicants where there was no crash or injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tPolice officers pulled her over after receiving reports of a BMW \u201cdriving erratically at a high rate of speed,\u201d a California Highway Patrol spokesperson previously told <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>.
