She is being quizzed by police in London after having come in by appointment, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.

Brooks did not know she was going to be arrested when she arrived, her spokesman Dave Wilson said.

She resigned on Friday as chief executive of Rupert Murdoch's News International, which published the News of the World.

The company also did not know she was about to be arrested when it accepted her resignation, a News International source said on Sunday, asking not to be named discussing internal corporate affairs.

Brooks had agreed to testify Tuesday at a House of Commons hearing on the scandal. It's not clear how her arrest will affect the hearing, committee member Louise Mensch, a Conservative MP, said the committee chair was "taking legal advice" on the situation.

Mark Stephens, a prominent British media lawyer, said the arrest was "somewhat theatrical," given that Brooks has apparently not been charged with a crime.

Brooks is the eighth person arrested in connection with the phone-hacking probe and the fourth arrested in the bribery investigation, police said Sunday. Two people, including Brooks, have been detained over both probes, meaning a total of 10 people have been arrested.

The police are actually protecting her and themselves from having to answer revealing questions, brilliant move!

[SickPuppyBeatz]

This stinks, expect to hear 'No comment' from her in the enquiry.

@OOKYDOOK Indeed - how clever of the police to round up the people responsible for bribing the police.
