HOLLYWOOD -
Britney Spears is in yet more legal trouble--the Los Angeles City Attorney has filed hit-and-run charges against her.
The troubled pop superstar has ended a week in which her lawyer and manager both quit her employ as she fought her ex-husband for child custody with a new legal headache.
It dates back to a parking lot incident on Aug. 6, which was caught on camera by paparazzi photographers.
A careless Spears accidentally collided with Kim Robard-Rifkin's vehicle as she tried to park her Mercedes Benz in Van Nuys, California.
After inspecting the damage on her own car, Spears failed to contact Robard-Rifkin in accordance with California law.
And that's not the only driving charge the City Attorney dropped on the pop star on Friday--she also faces a misdemeanor count of driving without a valid California license.
Each charge carries a maximum of six months in jail.
Britney's arraignment hearing is set for Oct. 10 in Van Nuys Superior Court.
And the latest controversy seems to have turned Spears into a wreck--she was spotted sobbing while shopping in Los Angeles as the news of her driving crimes broke.
Earlier this week, a Los Angeles judge ruled that the pop star would be subjected to random drug and alcohol testing twice a week as part of her ongoing child custody battle with ex
Kevin Federline. The pair must also attend parental counseling sessions.
