The Los Angeles police department is chock-full of inquiring minds. And inquiring minds apparently want to know whether or not Britney Spears was drugged.
While no official investigation has been launched into the allegations, which were first brought to the public's attention by Britney's mother, Lynne, in a wrenching, 14-page deposition filed earlier this month, the LAPD has confirmed that the accusations that Spears was drugged are being "considered" by the department.
"The issues regarding Britney Spears are being considered by the department to determine if laws have been violated," the Robbery-Homicide division's Captain Kyle Jackson said Wednesday. "Particular suspects have not yet been fully identified nor has a formal investigation into open charges officially commenced."
"At this time, we don't know whether or not a formal investigation will be initiated."
The possible investigation stems from comments made by Mama Spears in court documents filed in conjunction with the family's request for a temporary restraining order against the singer's former manager, Sam Lutfi, on Feb. 1, in which she proved far less concerned for discretion than the LAPD.
In her affidavit accompanying the request for the order, Lynne alleged, point-blank, "Mr. Lutfi drugged Britney."
She went on to claim that Lutfi even boasted to her directly that he ground up pills, among them Risperdal and Seroquel, and put them in Britney's food.
For his part, Lutfi, whom the LAPD has never mentioned as part of their potential investigation, confirmed to E! News shortly after Lynne's allegations came to light that he had in fact given Spears "a handful of pills" on Jan. 30, just before her parents arrived at her Studio City home and just prior to her second hospitalization.
He went on to say that the pills were "working wonders—they are miracle pills." He declined to state, however, what pills, exactly, he was feeding the singer.
