Dashcam footage obtained by ABC News shows Britney Spears refusing repeated orders to leave her car for nearly 10 minutes after a March 4 stop in Ventura County.
CHP officers said they smelled alcohol after responding to reports of an erratic driver, and newly released records described Spears' eyes as red and watery, her speech as rapid and slurred, and her gait as unsteady.
Spears eventually exited the vehicle, underwent field sobriety tests, was handcuffed, and was taken to a hospital for a blood draw while insisting she was sober and had only had a mimosa.
Earlier this month, Spears pleaded guilty to a reduced wet reckless charge, avoiding jail but receiving 12 months' probation and a 3-month alcohol education program with regular mental-health visits.
