A California judge has sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail for violating her probation, putting the brakes on the hotel heiress' famous high life. Hilton, who parlayed her name and relentless partying into worldwide notoriety, must go to jail on June 5 and she will not be allowed any work release, no furloughs, no use of an alternative jail and no electronic monitoring in lieu of jail, Superior Court Judge Michael T Sauer ruled after a hearing.
Paris Hilton at court yesterday The judge ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. "I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything. I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose all," she told the judge before announced the sentence. She was then ordered to report to women's jail in suburban Lynwood.
Feeling the strain: Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail Hilton, 26, was already on probation after admitting alcohol-related reckless driving and driving licence chiefs in California had suspended her license. Then Hilton was stopped by highway patrol cops on January 15 this year and again by the LA County Sheriffs on February 27. Checks discovered that she shouldn't have been on the road and her sporty Black Mercedes was impounded immediately.
Paris Hilton on the night she was pulled over by police for a driving violation According to legal papers, the prosecution has also requested that Paris should "not to consume any alcohol for a continuous period of 90 days and that she should be to be monitored for alcohol consumption... by use of a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM) device at her expense." The device takes blood/alcohol readings and will show if she has been out drinking. Coincidentally, Hilton will next week be campaigning against underage drinking - or at least a likeness of her will. A new sculpture by artist Daniel Edwards portrays the "Simple Life" star dead — lying stone cold on an autopsy exam table with her Chihuahua Tinkerbell at her side. Edwards will unveil Paris Hilton Autopsy at a New York art gallery May 12. Removable innards and a public service announcement will warn youngsters about the dangers of drink driving.
