Police: Britney Spears Released From Hospital

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Britney Spears was quietly released Wednesday from a hospital where she had been undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, a police official said.

"It occurred without any law enforcement intervention, and for the public that's a good thing," said Capt. Sharyn Buck, commander of the North Hollywood police station, which covers the area of Spears' home.

The troubled singer was hospitalized early on Jan. 31, taken by ambulance under an extensive police escort to a psychiatric facility at UCLA Medical Center.

A Superior Court commissioner subsequently placed Spears and her estate under temporary conservatorship, which expires Feb. 14. Her father, James, was named conservator of Spears, and he and an attorney were made co-conservators of the estate.

Spears, who is in a child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, was also briefly hospitalized earlier in January after police were called to her home when she refused to return her sons to a Federline bodyguard after a visit. That trip to the hospital occurred amid a swarm of paparazzi.

Spears has since lost all visitation rights.
