Ventura, California — Britney Spears pleaded guilty Monday through her lawyer to a reduced 'wet reckless' or reckless driving charge after being accused of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs; attorney Michael A. Goldstein entered the plea in Ventura County while Spears did not appear in court. Under the plea she received credit for one day already served, will serve one year of informal probation, must complete a state-mandated DUI class and pay fines, and has continued to undergo treatment after her March 4 arrest, officials said; the district attorney characterized the disposition as standard for low-risk first-time cases.
