If Spears re-offends while on probation, she would face another DUI charge with tougher penalties that could potentially include a year in jail and five years of probation, District Attorney Erik Nasarenko told reporters after the hearing.

And if pulled over for any reason, she must submit to a blood-alcohol test and search of her vehicle.
