Britney ordered to report to police over car crash
Troubled US pop star Britney Spears has been ordered by a judge to report to a Los Angeles police station over a hit-and-run case.
Commissioner Rebecca Omens said the 25-year-old must be fingerprinted and photographed before October 25, when she is required to appear in court.
Spears was charged last month with hit and run and driving without a valid licence after she allegedly smashed her car into another in a car park in August.
Spears was not present for yesterday’s arraignment.
She was represented by attorney Michael Flanagan, who said his client “must go to any LA police station for fingerprints and mug shots”.
“She will do that, but I don’t know when,” Flanagan told the celebrity website CelebTV.com.
The charges relate to an August 6 car park crash during which paparazzi filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a space in Studio City.
After assessing the damage to her own car, a paparazzi video shows her walking away.
The owner of the other car, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report three days after the incident.
She learned it was Spears who had hit her car through a video posted online.
