Britney Hospitalized for 'Mental Evaluation'

 

Published 1/31/2008 at Extra

Britney Spears was taken by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center for a psychiatric hold last night. Shortly after 1 A.M., police were called to her Studio City home and she was taken in for treatment on a 5150 hold. Under a 5150, a patient is supposed to be held for a 72-hour emergency hold. Last time Brit was hospitalized, she left after just one day. A person is labeled a 5150 case if they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. Both of Britney's parents are at the hospital with her right now, along with her confidant Sam Lufti. (link)
