Report Requested On Spears Incident
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
An attorney for Kevin Federline wants the Police Department to
release its investigative report on an incident at ex-wife Britney
Spears' home a week ago that led to the pop star losing custody of her
two sons.
According to a court order released Friday by Los Angeles County
Superior Court, there was a hearing Thursday in the couple's child
custody dispute. Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, asked for
the police report and also requested the names of the law enforcement
officers who responded.
A hearing on the requests will be held Monday.
Police intervened Jan. 3 when Spears refused to return the children to Federline after a court-monitored visit.
After a standoff, Spears, 26, was taken to a hospital in an ambulance that was chased by a crowd of photographers.
The next day, Commissioner Scott Gordon awarded sole legal and
physical custody of 1-year-old Jayden James and 2-year-old Sean Preston
to Federline and suspended Spears' visitation rights.
Spears left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a day and half later.
According to the court order, Gordon denied a request from Spears'
lawyers that the next hearing be closed to the media. That means that,
unlike most of the previous hearings, Monday's proceedings could be
open to the public and the media.
