Christina Aguilera was arrested for public intoxication early Tuesday morning and jailed for her own safety until she recovered. Her boyfriend was also arrested for investigation of DUI.<\/p>\n
The singer was released from custody at the West Hollywood sheriff’s station at about 7:30 a.m., according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore.<\/p>\n
“We have no desire to prosecute, none whatsoever. It’s just for a public safety issue,” says Whitmore. “When she was able to navigate and to think on her own and make her own way, she was released.”<\/p>\n
Aguilera, 30, was a passenger in a car driven by boyfriend Matthew Rutler that was pulled over at 2:45 a.m. when deputies noticed the vehicle driving erratically. Both were booked, Aguilera for public intoxication, Rutler for DUI.<\/p>\n
“She was not capable to taking care of herself. She was incapacitated,” says Whitmore. “She was cooperative. She was not belligerent in any way whatsoever. She was just intoxicated.”<\/p>\n
By law, a person can be held in custody if they cannot take care of themselves, he says.<\/p>\n
“As she got better, she just said, ‘I would like to leave,'” says Whitmore, and deputies granted her request.<\/p>\n
Aguilera’s reps were not immediately available for comment. <\/p>\n
