Britney Spears has been charged with hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a valid license, the Los Angeles City Attorney said Friday.If convicted on both misdemanor charges, she faces up to a year in jail, City Attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan tells PEOPLE.
The charges stem from a fender-bender in a store parking lot on Aug. 6. Spears, 25, made a wide, right turn into a parking space and scraped another car’s bumper.
“According to the DMV, Ms. Spears was never issued a California license – ever,” Mateljan says.
The other car’s owner filed a police report at a North Hollywood station. Her arraignment is set for Oct. 10 in a Van Nuys, Calif., court.
