Paris Hilton DUI Update

Updated information on Paris Hilton's DUI arrest

Paris DUI PhotoHotel heiress and social butterfly Paris Hilton has been formally charged with DUI by Los Angeles city prosecutors. The charge stems from an arrest in early September after police spotted Hilton driving ‘erratically’ in her Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. LAPD officers were said to have observed "symptoms of intoxication" and had Hilton perform a
field sobriety test.

Hilton is to be arraigned tomorrow, September 28, though the 25 year-old actress is not required to appear in court for the DUI arrest. Los Angeles city spokesperson, Nick Velasquez, said, "The charges are consistent with California law and the circumstances of this case." A plea bargain is expected.

Hilton could receive a $1,000 fine and spend six months in jail. It is more common however for first time California DUI offenders to be fined, placed on probation and be required to enroll in an alcohol education program.

Paris Hilton had been at a charity party and was said to be making a late night burger run when she was arrested for DUI. Hilton denies driving drunk though she conceded that she may have been speeding "a little bit".
