Cops: Paris Under House Arrest

Posted Jun 7th 2007 10:08AM by TMZ Staff

Paris Hilton has been fitted for ankle bracelet and reassigned to house arrest, after authorities decided to release Hilton from jail due to medical reasons, this according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson, Steve Whitmore.

Reporters hammered away about Paris' medical condition during a press conference in front of the jail, where she was released early this morning, but Whitmore said that due to confidentiality laws, he could not discuss even the slightest health-related details.

Paris will be under house confinement in her West Hollywood home for 40 days, where she has a 3000-4000 ft. radius of freedom. Her jail cell was 96 square feet. After the 40 days are up, Whitmore says she will have "fulfilled her debt to society."

Whitmore made it clear that Paris was not released early -- she was reassigned. She is technically still in custody.

17. Medical reasons? Don't they have a prison hospital or a prison doctor? I don't know why I'm surprised she was let go early. I sent an email to the LA Sherriff's Department about how disgusting this is. I suggest everyone else does this as well.

21. Medical condition??!! OKAYYYYY, SURE! What a load of crap. For all the people that defend her, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You must not have lost someone you loved to a DRUNK driver. And I hope you'll never know that pain. Ms. Hilton hasn't learned anything from this. What a SAD, PATHETIC day for our so-called justice sysytem.

24. Note to self: In the event I may be looking at jail time in the future, be sure to get addicted to pain killers to ensure an early release.

29. What a cry baby. I almost developed a little respect for her when she went into jail to take her punishment but now

30. I bet she just refused to eat, I know I would. I would rather be on house arrest for a year than eat jail food. Also, many, many child molesters, robbers, murderers are walking the streets on a technicality or stupid jury. I am glad she got to go hime. These cops should be out solving real crimes.
