New
York
(ANI):
Britney
Spears
has
rejected
a
3,000-dollar
fine
deal
offered
by
the
Los
Angeles'
City
Attorney
in
relation
to
hit-and-run
charges
incurred
in
August
last
year.
The
troubled
singer
hit
a
parked
car
in
a
private
parking
lot
in
the
San
Fernando
Valley
on
6
August
2007,
in
California
while
driving
without
a
valid
licence.
The
hit-and-run
charge,
which
was
caught
on
camera,
was
dismissed
in
court
in
October,
after
Spears
offered
a
personal
apology
and
1,000
dollars
in
compensation
to
the
vehicle's
owner,
Kim
Robard-Rifkin,
reports
the
New
York
Post.
However,
the
'Toxic'
singer
is
still
facing
a
charge
of
driving
without
a
valid
Californian
driving
licence,
because
she
was
only
in
possession
of
a
permit
from
her
native
Louisiana
at
the
time
of
the
incident.
Spears'
attorney
Michael
Flanagan
said
that
the
City
Attorney
offered
her
a
plea
deal
of
pleading
guilty
to
a
misdemeanor
of
"driving
without
a
California
driver's
license:
no
probation,
contingent
on
her
paying
the
maximum
fine
of
$3000." But
the
pop
star
has
instructed
Flanagan
to
reject
the
deal
as
"they
(the
authorities)
are
attempting
to
treat
her
differently
than
they
would
any
other
person
who
did
not
have
a
valid
licence
at
the
time."
Spears
has
since
obtained
her
Californian
driving
licence.
