Paris
Hilton Caught Driving With a Suspended License
3/30/07
Socialite Paris Hilton is facing a 90-day jail spell after being found
in violation of the terms of her probation.
The hotel heiress was spotted driving along Sunset Boulevard in Los
Angeles on 27 February (07) without her headlights on, according to police
reports.
Officers pulled Hilton over in her Bentley convertible and found she
was driving with a suspended license - the result of her drink driving
arrest last September (06). She later pleaded no contest to reckless
driving and was placed on probation.
Hilton's publicist Elliot Mintz insists he and his client were unaware
that her driving license had been suspended.
But Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's
Office, tells People magazine, "We have sufficient evidence to prove
that Hilton had knowledge of the suspension, and yet continued to
drive."
A hearing has been set for 17 April (07).
