Police were called to the residence of Britney Spears this evening, after the singer refused to hand over her two sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline when her court-mandated custody hours were up.
The Toxic singer was supposed to hand over Sean and Jayden at 7 p.m. PST, after having the children with her since noon on Thursday. When Spears failed to show up some 90 minutes later (where Federline’s bodyguards were waiting), the police were called.
“There have been police sent to that residence,” a LAPD officer revealed a short time ago. “We don’t know any more at this time, but apparently they’ve arrived.”
Mark Vincent Kaplan, Federline’s lawyer, was seen by onlookers leaving Spears’ residence at around 9 p.m. this evening. While there has been no comment made from Federline’s camp at this stage, Britney’s attorney, Sorrell Trope, has told Usmagazine.com, “In a normal case when someone shows up with a certified court order saying the kids need to be somewhere else, the police see to it that the order is obeyed. But that is in a normal case.”
According to a media update given a few moments ago, the LAPD are still inside Spears’ residence, trying to resolve this issue. The local fire department has also been called to the scene, but there’s no word as yet on why it’s taking them so long to place the children into Federline’s care.
LAPD Officer Jason Lee (who is on the scene) gave a brief statement on the situation: “The officers are still there. They are trying to resolve this peacefully and legally, according to the court order. They’ve been there since 8 p.m. and it is in regards to Britney Spears’ custody battle.”
