Paris Charged With DUI

Posted Sep 26th 2006 2:45PM by TMZ Staff

Paris Hilton has been charged with driving under the influence.

The Los Angeles City Attorney filed misdemeanor charges Tuesday in connection with Hilton's arrest earlier this month. The heiress, who was driving her pricey Mercedes McLaren SLR, was pulled over in Hollywood after police spotted her driving erratically. Cops administered a field sobriety test, and Paris blew a .08. In California, driving with a .08 blood alcohol level is the minimum level for DUI. TMZ has obtained the criminal complaint filed against Hilton today in Los Angeles court.

Hilton was charged with driving under the influence and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher. The charges carry a maximum jail term of six months, however, it is standard practice to give first offenders probation, as well as a license restriction. Typically, first offenders are also required to attend AA meetings.

Hilton claims she only had one margarita during the evening in question. She also said she was driving a little too fast because she was "starving" and just wanted an In-N-Out burger.

31. and here's "LAUGHING AT YOU"
looks like your just as much of a TMZ looser as you portray anyone else to be.
most of us take aim at those who think they are god's gift and worth more than anyone else (mentally and physically)
sorry you don't find yourself on the same page so maybe you can find a book somewhere and entertain yourself with it

32. I suppose she'll get away with it, like old Adolph Gibson. I hope that the next time she's driving drunk, her fucking car kisses a tree--hard!

36. Why do these idiots who drink and drive get three chances?A fine,maybe restrictions on their license for the first offense?So they can kill somebody the second or third times?

However,in Paris' case maybe she can redeem herself a little...imagine Joe and his two Ho Simpson girls driving along one night and along comes inebriated Paris...BAM!!!!Four useless people gone in an instant.

38. Good. She should get charged for DUI. If they did a drug test I'm sure it would have turned up postivie for a CONTROLED substance.

Unfortunately it won't hurt ths hag one bit. She will just get some paid ' ASS LICKER " to drive her around everywhere and do all her errands. She will learn nothing from this. She will get her license back and go right back to living the same old morally corupt life she has always lead. I am so sick of her I could SCREAM !!!

40. I have the utmost confidence that the great Miss Paris Hilton will be aquitted of this frivolous charge. She was working very hard all day and only had one drink. I'm sure she gave all the officers an autograph and was very polite. People are really dreaming if they think she will not beat this charge. We all love you Paris, you are the Qween of Hollywood!

41. Oh all of you need to spare yourselves!! I have money and I don't do anything, I was born rich!! You gonna hate on me too? You all are just jealous because Paris doesn't have to do anything and yet the world is still watching her. Hell, all of you are still here talking about her! I bet all of you were the ones the popular kids laughed at behind your backs in high school. While me and my friends were driving daddy's BMW home, were you riding the bus? All of you talking sh*t about Paris need to take a look in the mirror and say, "I am jealous". Oh and Dave, you should do the world a favor and let the cancer win next time!! DICK!!!
