Britney Spears was charged with several counts on Friday stemming from her August 6 accident in a Studio City parking lot.
Prosecuters charged Spears with misdemeanor counts of hit and run and driving without a valid license. The singer could face six months in jail and up to $1,000 in fines for each count if she is found guilty, said Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the Los Angeles attorney’s office.
Paparazzi video shows Spears steering into a parked car, then examining the damage to her own car and walking away. Three days later Kim Robard-Rifkin, the owner of the other vehicle, saw the video on TMZ.com and filed a police report.
"I simply want my car fixed, the same as I would fix somebody’s car if I had done that," Robard-Rifkin told TMZ in August. She said she had expected to hear from Spears' camp about repairs but never did.
Spears' arraignment is October 10.
