No charges for Britney Spears in dispute with housekeeper

Britney Spears will face no charges after an allegation from her housekeeper that Spears slapped a phone out of her hand

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Britney Spears will face no charges after an allegation from her housekeeper that Spears slapped a phone out of her hand, prosecutors said Wednesday. A possible misdemeanor battery charge was declined based on insufficient evidence that a crime had occurred and lack of injury to the housekeeper or of significant damage to the phone, Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said in a statement. The woman had called authorities after the Aug. 16 dispute with Spears over veterinary care of Spears' dog, Nasarenko said. Spears has a home in Thousand Oaks, California northwest of Los Angeles.
