Britney Spears could be facing more than just DUI charges.
After the star was taken into custody the evening of Wednesday, March 4, a Thursday report revealed an unknown substance was also found in her car, which was part of the reason behind the arrest.
The exact substance has not yet been determined and is currently being tested.
Britney Spears was arrested on March 4.
The musician was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers in Ventura County at approximately 9:28 p.m. local time on Wednesday, booked around 3:02 a.m. on Thursday, and released three hours later. The site of the incident was Westlake Village, near her Thousand Oaks, Calif., house.
The “Toxic” singer was transferred to the hospital "immediately" after being pulled over to get her blood alcohol content level, per a TMZ report. Her reading was reportedly .06, and the legal BAC limit is .08 percent. Despite the results, authorities may still charge someone if they suspect they are driving with DUI-consistent behaviors.
