POLICE DENY FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO SPEARS 'DRUGGING' ACCUSATIONS

LATEST: Los Angeles police have denied a formal investigation is underway into claims BRITNEY SPEARS was drugged by her now estranged manager SAM LUTFI. Lutfi was served a restraining order earlier this month (Feb08) and was instructed to keep his distance from the Spears family after Britney's mother Lynne claimed he had admitted drugging her daughter. And now Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has confirmed that "issues" regarding the singer are being looked into but insisted there is currently no official investigation underway and no formal suspects, according to TMZ.com. Captain Kyle Jackson of LAPD's Robbery Homicide division issued the following statement: "The issues regarding Britney Spears are being considered by the department to determine if laws have been violated. "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."
