Britney Spears is being investigated by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department for an alleged misdemeanor battery incident.
Capt. Eric Buschow confirms to PEOPLE that the singer is the suspect in a battery investigation after an employee reported that Spears, 39, “struck them during a dispute” inside her home. However, a source close to Spears tells PEOPLE that the report is a complete fabrication.
“Ultimately that investigation will be forwarded to the attorney’s office for review. It’s a minor misdemeanor battery [investigation],” Capt. Buschow tells PEOPLE, adding that there were no injuries reported.
