Hilton Caught With Suspended License

(CBS/AP)  Paris Hilton was cited for driving on a suspended license after police stopped her for speeding and driving without her headlights on late Tuesday, authorities said.

The Web site TMZ reported that the heiress violated the terms of her probation and could face up to 90 days in jail.

The hotel heiress and star of "The Simple Life" reality series was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard in her blue Bentley Continental GTC at 11 p.m., said Sgt. Duane Allen Jr. of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

She was on her way home from buying DVDs at Virgin Megastore in West Hollywood after spending the day at home for a photo shoot, her publicist, Elliot Mintz, said.

Hilton, 26, was issued a ticket for driving on a suspended license, a misdemeanor, and released. A court date was not immediately set.

She was alone and there was no sign of drinking or drugs, Allen said.

Mintz said Hilton didn't realize the car's headlights weren't on because she had just left a parking structure that was brightly lit. She was told by police she was stopped for not having the headlights turned on. Speeding was not mentioned, Mintz said.

"When she called me, she asked if her license was suspended," Mintz said early Wednesday. "If that's the case, she and I are unaware of it."

Hilton was picked up by a friend and taken home after the incident. Her car was impounded.

In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from her Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. She was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. That case was reduced from an original charge of driving under the influence.

SEND HER TO JAIL!
AND FORCE HER TO REHAB BEFORE EVER LEAVING!

And to think she and her family can afford all the chauffeurs money can buy, her behavior smacks at arrogance! Tsk-tsk

This is just another drunk-driving murderess waiting to happen!

Surrrrrrrrre! I too cannot believe that she would put one toe into the jail cell. Juat another slap on the wrists with maybe a little "naughty girl" thrown in.

Yep! And I would add that it's no wonder she didn't notice the lights off since she never opens her eyes wider than merely a slit- is that because her lids are so heavy from all that makeup?!
