Christina Aguilera Briefly Detained for Drunkenness


Christina Aguilera was momentarily arrested on Tuesday subsequent to being found drunk in a public place and appearing not able to care for herself, the police informed.

The 30-year-old singer was sobering for several hours in the West Hollywood police station before she was released. Spokesman Steve Whitmore of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told the reporters that the police officials have no plan of prosecuting her.

Aguilera was inside a car with her boyfriend, who was driving erratically in the West Hollywood district. They were being pulled over by a police before dawn on Tuesday. Her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, was held in prison for suspected drunken driving.

Whitmore said the five-time Grammy Award winner was incapable of taking care of herself. Although incapacitated, Aguilera was cooperative. Whitmore said she was not violent in any way, but was just intoxicated.

The spokesman added they arrested the singer on a misdemeanor for public intoxication, but have no intent to prosecute. Aguilera was released nearly four hours after staying in the police station and was picked up by a person known as her friend.

In October, Aguilera filed a divorce petition against Jordan Bratman whom she had been married  to for five years. She was also criticized for messing up the lyrics of the U.S. national anthem aired before a TV audience of millions of people in last month’s Super Bowl.

She debuted as a movie actress in the musical film “Burlesque” in December. However, the movie got poor reviews and disappointing ratings at the box office.
