Aguilera was booked on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication and was released after posting $250 bail.

Authorities fingerprinted and took mug shots of both, but said that it was "not likely" that they would release the singer's mug shot, since they had no intention of prosecuting her.
A friend close to Aguilera has exclusively told RadarOnline.com: "Christina is fine. She is home and everything is completely calm at her house. She called Jordan and spoke with him and she spoke with Max and everything is ok. She is just going to relax at home for a little while. She is just really hoping to move past this and move forward."
However, Rutler is not as fortunate. Since he was behind the wheel, authorities will pursue a case against him.

After booking her, police put Aguilera in a cell so that she could sober up. She was released around 7:30 am PT after passing a sobriety test in jail and was driven home by a friend.
Earlier, Sheriff's department spokerson Steve Whitmore stressed that Aguilera was cooperative and not belligerent or aggressive in any way during her arrest and subsequent booking.

Christina, This guy Matt is nothing but trouble. He might have been fun under the sheets and a drinking partner but he is clearly using you. You could do so much better. If he really cared he wouldn't let you or himself behave this way.
