Britney Spears’ son had bite marks on him

Britney Spears' son Jayden James was covered in bite marks when police arrived at the singer's Beverly Hills home on January 3, to investigate her custody dispute with estranged husband Kevin Federline, it has been claimed.

A source told US Weekly magazine that the LAPD report of the incidents, which ended with Spears being carried out of her home on a stretcher and transported to a nearby hospital for psychiatric evaluation, says that when officers arrived that evening, Spears reacted by yelling at them to get out of her house. Police outside the home peered through a window and saw the troubled 26-year-old mother of two cradling Jayden, 1, in a bathroom and observed that he was not in any immediate danger.

The source also claims that, though at first police threatened to break down the bathroom door, they soon realized that the door was, in fact, not locked and the officers were able to open the door and enter the bathroom.

After observing the bite mark and bruises on the child, police were then told by Federline's bodyguard, who had been at the home to pick up the kids, that the injuries were on Jayden before the child had even arrived at Spears' home earlier in the day, and that his older brother, Sean Preston, had actually bit him.

The source also revealed to US Weekly magazine that tests conducted on Britney Spears at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center later that night found absolutely no evidence of drugs or alcohol in her system. "She tested clean," a source said at the time. "This lady is as clean as clean can be, and has been for some time."
