Paris Hilton Arrested for Drunk Driving
Paris Hilton was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. The star was pulled over by police in Hollywood officer I. Isabella confirms. Isabella claims Hilton was stopped because she was "driving erratically" in her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. A police statement reads, "The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at the scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence." Hilton was on her way home from a charity event when the arrest took place. Her spokesman Elliott Mintz admits the reality TV star was arrested, but insists she only drank one margarita cocktail. Mintz says, "She's absolutely fine. She didn't appear in the least bit to be intoxicated." Mintz claims Hilton was tired after spending the day filming her new music video, adding, "The arrest was probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued." Hilton was picked up from a police station by Mintz, her sister Nicky and her boyfriend, actor Kevin Connolly, after being booked on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence (DUI).
