The 911 dispatch audio from Britney Spears’ DUI arrest has been released.

In a recording of the audio obtained by Us Weekly, an operator could be heard describing Spears‘ “erratic” driving the night of her arrest on March 4. “Black BMW sedan in and out of lanes … speeding,” the operator said before noting how the black sedan was “erratic[ly] braking, swerving and driving with no taillight.”

A police officer driving behind the vehicle on South 101 at Rancho Roadalso identified the car as a black 2026 BMW convertible. “Can we send all units down towards this area, please?” the officer said.

Other officers could also be heard following the vehicle before pulling it over. “Talking with the driver,” a second officer said. “Driver is out of the vehicle.” Authorities also requested a DRE, which is an officer qualified to identify an impaired driver. Officials also requested an 11-85, which is the police code to tow a vehicle. In photos obtained by Page Six, Spears’ car could be sitting in a tow yard as of March 5.

Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California, on Wednesday, March 4, at 9:28 p.m. local time by the California Highway Patrol on a charge for allegedly driving under the influence. She was booked into a local jail at 3:02 a.m. and was released around 6 a.m., according to jail records obtained by TMZ, which was the first to report on her arrest. She’s set to make a court appearance at Ventura County Superior Court on May 4.

“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” a representative for Spears told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement after her arrest. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being.”

A source told Us Weekly at the time of her arrest that Spears’ family hopes her DUI was a “wake-up call” for things to change. “I hope this is a wake-up call for her,” the insider said.
