Christina Aguilera Arrested on Suspicion of Public Drunkenness
|
Christina Aguilera was arrested on suspicion of public drunkenness and released Tuesday morning. Los Angeles County Sheriff's department said they don't plan on seeking criminal charges against Aguilera. Steve Whitmore, the sheriff's department's spokesman, said the arrest will go on her record but the case will not be forwarded to prosecutors. She was taken into custody for her safety and the circumstances don't merit criminal charges. "There will be no court date, and there will be no prosecution," he said. According to deputies, a DUI investigation was initiated after they noticed a motorist who was driving erratically. The driver was arrested on suspicion of
DUI. Deputies found Aguilera inside the car, she was described as being "very intoxicated," said a source familiar with the case. Deputies did not believe Aguilera would be able to drive safely on her own and took her into protective custody. Protective custody is imprisonment to protect a person from harming oneself or others.
