Bad news for Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton had been in a hurry to get a late-night burger. That was in last September. And then she was arrested for drunken driving. The celebrity heiress of course pleaded innocent. But it seems her blood alcohol level was over California’s legal limit of .08. It was not a crime only a misdemeanor.

She had claimed that she had been to a fund-raising party after a long day shooting a music video and had just one drink.

“I had one margarita, was starving because I had not eaten all day. Maybe I was speeding a little bit and I got pulled over,” she said.

Referring to the popular California based fast-food chain she said, “I was just really hungry and I wanted to have an In-N-Out Burger.”

For the hearing she was not required to be present in court. In the brief hearing in the Los Angeles Superior Court her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley entered the not guilty plea.

The pretrial hearing was set for January 23rd by the Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer. The case would go to trial within a month from that date.

If convicted this celebrity socialite and reality TV star will face a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a ,000 fine. The first-time offenders however are often given probation and they are required to attend alcohol counseling.
