Tuesday September 26, 2006

Paris Hilton was charged with driving under the influence and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher on Tuesday.
 
"That is pretty routine for us to file both,” Los Angeles City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan tells Us. “And they are technically two charges."
 
The misdemeanor charges stem from Hilton's arrest earlier this month. The heiress was pulled over on September 7 in Hollywood after police spotted her driving erratically and she blew a .08 blood alcohol level, the minimum for a DUI in California.
 
Hilton claimed she only had one margarita the night of her arrest, and was merely speeding because she was “starving” for an In-N-Out burger.
 
The heiress’ arraignment is scheduled for September 28. The charges carry a maximum penalty of $1,000 and six months in jail. The minimum mandatory would include an alcohol program like AA.
 
We’re betting she brings a celebratory round of ’ritas as an ice breaker. And a date.
