TweetParis Hilton Arrested For DUI
Various sources are reporting this morning that Paris Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence shortly after midnight after police said she was driving erratically and failed a sobriety test.
Early this morning, police spotted Hilton driving erratically in Hollywood and pulled her over.
"She exhibited the symptoms of intoxication," LAPD spokesman Irv Isabella said.
Hilton was then asked to perform a field sobriety test, which she failed, and therefore was subsequently arrested and charged with DUI.
Isabella could not confirm whether Hilton was handcuffed, but he said it is standard procedure to handcuff people arrested on charges of DUI.
Paris was released from police custody and a court date has been scheduled at a later date.
"We have faith she will appear in court," Isabella said.
Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the arrest and said police detected the minimum blood-alcohol level to warrant an arrest, the Associated Press reported.
The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent
