Sam Lutfi just got served. Britney Spears' manager/pal was served with a temporary restraining order to keep away from her and her family Thursday.

The long overdue TRO was the brainchild of the pop star's dad, Jamie, in an effort to save her daughter from further destruction brought by Lutfi, reports claim. Lutfi had denied being on hiding but just as well, he couldn't be seen anywhere and be served for three weeks.

Finally on Thursday at 11 a.m., he was served as he left his apartment in Westside Los Angeles. He can now be officially charged if he can't keep his distance of within 250 yards from Britney, her home, and her family's homes.

The TRO claims that "Mr. Lutfi has drugged Britney. He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone charges. He claims to control everything."

Lutfi recently claims to represent the troubled singer in court to try to move her estate case to federal court. He claims that her father, who is her estate's conservator, is violating Britney's civil rights.
