The San Antonio Spurs security director who allegedly backhanded Britney Spears on Wednesday after she approached basketball star Victor Wembanyama for a photo will not face criminal charges, Page Six reported. Spears tapped Wembanyama on his shoulder at a restaurant in Las Vegas, which prompted guard Damian Smith to slap her across the face, reportedly knocking her to the ground. TMZ reported that Spears filed a police report, and the Las Vegas Police Department previously told The Daily Beast it carried out a “battery investigation.” A police spokesperson confirmed to Page Six on Friday that it finished up its investigation and “no charges will be filed against the person involved.” A rep for Spears did not respond to the tabloid’s request for comment.
