Paris Hilton Arrested for Drunk Driving

[Brian Damage]

HOLLYWOOD - Socialite Paris Hilton was arrested in the early hours of this morning on suspicion of drunk driving.
The aspiring pop star, 25, was pulled over by police in Hollywood around 12:30 a.m., officer I. Isabella confirms.

Isabella claims Hilton was stopped because she was "driving erratically" in her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

A police statement reads, "The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at the scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence."

Hilton was on her way home from a charity event when the arrest took place.

Her spokesman Elliott Mintz admits the reality TV star was arrested, but insists she only drank one margarita cocktail.

Mintz says, "She's absolutely fine. She didn't appear in the least bit to be intoxicated."

Mintz claims Hilton was tired after spending the day filming her new music video, adding, "The arrest was probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued."

Hilton was picked up from a police station by Mintz, her sister Nicky and her boyfriend, actor Kevin Connolly, after being booked on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence (DUI).

Arrested Paris Hilton says just wanted a burger

By Jill Serjeant

Thu Sep 7, 1:31 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Celebrity Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood early on Thursday for suspected drunk driving, but she said the incident had been blown out of proportion and that she may have been speeding to get a late-night burger.

Hilton, 25, the heiress to the Hilton hotel dynasty known for her hard-partying lifestyle, was pulled over by police in Hollywood around 1 a.m. for driving erratically.

She told KIIS-FM radio in an interview on Thursday morning that she had been to a charity fund-raiser party after a long day shooting a music video and had just one margarita.

"I had one margarita (and) was starving because I had not eaten all day," she said. "Maybe I was speeding a little bit and I got pulled over. I was just really hungry and I wanted to have an In-N-Out Burger."

The star of reality show "The Simple Life," who had a surprise summer hit with her first pop single "Stars are Blind," said that as usual there were a lot of photographers around.

"I think they (the police) wanted to make a statement. They even said 'there are a lot of people watching. We don't want them to think we are giving you special treatment'," Hilton said.

Police said Hilton failed a sobriety test but she has not been charged with any offense. That decision will be made by the Los Angles County District Attorney in the next few days.

Hilton's publicist Elliot Mintz, who picked up his client from the police station, said Hilton was affected more than usual by the one drink she had because it was "one drink on an empty stomach after a full day's work."

"It's the absolute minimum amount of alcohol in your system that would justify an arrest," he told reporters.

The incident made national headlines on Thursday.

"Everything I do is blown out of proportion," said Hilton, not known for shying away from publicity. "It really hurts my feelings."

Mintz said Kimberly Stewart, the daughter of rocker Rod Stewart, was in Hilton's Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren when she was pulled over.

Hilton shot to fame for an amateur sex video that showed up on the Internet in 2003. Her party-going and complex love life have ensured that she has rarely been off the celebrity radar since.

Earlier this year, a judge ordered Hilton to stay away from a Los Angeles party planner who accused her of bombarding him with angry phone calls, shoving him and threatening his life.

"May have been speeding..."????? What a stupid broad.

[TJL]

Way to start a trend Paris!

Now Lindsay, Mary Kate and Ashley, and Mischa will all want to get arrested!

;)

I actually like her new song. :p Don't like her though.

[Ireneparalegal]

I can't believe the local news put this as their first story of the day...pathetic. The news played a tape of her on KIIS FM this morning saying "I wasn't arrested...they were all cool with me...blah blah blah"...Honey, when you are put in handcuffs and taken to the police station, YOU'RE ASS IS ARRESTED. Dumb stupid blonde.

[Ireneparalegal]

I just realized this thread was moved to the MUSIC board...WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH?????????????????????? :brent :rofl: Next thing you know, news abt Jennifer Lopez, Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff will be here too.

[sara]

If she blew a .08 I have a hard time believing that she only had one margarita. When Michigan lowered their limit from .10 to .08 the news said that blowing a .08 would be 4 drinks in a hour for a 180 lb man.

Exactly. That's what was said on the news here. Each drink will cause a blood alcohol level of .02...so, she had four drinks or as the newscaster said, "That was some powerful margarita."

Arrested Paris Hilton says just wanted a burger

I'm surprised it wasn't one of those Hardee's/Carl's Jr. burgers she was promoting last year. :lol:

Here's my take on the situation: Is the E! network going to cancel her show? (If not, the network should twist the punctuation mark to reflect the network's real nature.)
