Paris Folds in DUI Case

Posted Jan 22nd 2007 3:34PM by TMZ Staff

Paris Hilton has entered a plea in her DUI case.

Paris, originally charged with DUI, pled no contest Monday to alcohol-related reckless driving. Hilton was not present when her lawyers, Howard Weitzman and Shawn Chapman Holley, told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer that the heiress would rather fold than fight.

The judge placed Hilton on 36 months probation. She must pay a fine of $390 (with penalty assessments, Paris must pay a grand total of $1450) and attend an alcohol education program. She was also given the option of completing probation in 24 months if she completes 40 hours of community service.

Hilton was arrested September 7, 2006 in Hollywood. Her blood-alcohol level was .08, the threshold in

California for being a drunk driver.

6. she got off easy...My first dui got me 250 hrs of community service, an alcohal program, and 20 A.A. meetings. All for my first offence in 2002. Now if the laws are harder now then they were then, she got off easy. So as the rule proves itself "Celebrities DO GET SPECIALTREATMENT" They should send her to the Los Angeles Morgue!

10. Typical sentence for a 1st time offender, but I doubt she do any part of the community service.
