Hilton Charged With DUI
On Tuesday (Sept. 26), Paris Hilton was charged with driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher for getting behind the wheel a few weeks earlier after allegedly drinking only one margarita on an empty stomach, reports People. She'll be arraigned on Sept. 28.
Early Sept. 7, Hilton and her passenger Kimberly Stewart were pulled over in Hollywood because of the hotel heiress' erratic driving. After a Breathalyzer test read .08, the minimum blood-alcohol level that to still be considered illegal in California, she was booked.
According to Hilton, she was working non-stop that day -- attending a charity event, party and then a nightclub -- without consuming everything except for a frosty margarita. She told radio host Ryan Seacrest the next morning that she was on her way to In-N-Out burger when she was pulled over.
If convicted, Hilton could face up to six months in jail and fined $1,000. It's more likely, however, as first-time offender she'll only get a fine, probation and orders to attend an alcohol program.
Hilton has had minor brushes with the law before, once in November 2005 when the police pulled her, Stewart, boyfriend Stavros Niarchos and "Laguna Beach" star Talan Torriero over after Niarchos hit a parked car while pulling away from a nightclub. They were released shortly afterward, and Hilton was seen on video blowing the cops a kiss and saying, "Thank you, officers. We love the police."
Also, previous theft charges were dropped against her for stealing her own sex tape from a newstand. Hilton was caught on camera swiping the "One Night in Paris" DVD and then allegedly tearing down a poster advertising the video. The Los Angeles District Attorney's office decided it was not "in the interest of justice" to prosecute the hotel heiress.
Hilton released her self-titled album in August and hit the Billboard 100 as high as No. 18 with the reggae-influenced "Stars Are Blind." A fifth season of her reality show, "The Simple Life," with ex-friend Nicole Richie is in development over on E!
