LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Four photographers were arrested for reckless driving after a late night car chase of pop star Britney Spears on the outskirts of Los Angeles, police said on Thursday.

Los Angeles police spokeswoman Sara Faden said the four were among a group of paparazzi seen driving at high speed in the Mission Hills area of the city around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday on the trail of the troubled singer.

“Britney Spears was part of the group, but was not driving recklessly,” Faden said. She said four men were booked for reckless driving and each ordered to put up $5,000 bail.

According to TMZ, Spears told police that one of the cars, which she could not identify, may have tried to run her off the road.
