Another Hilton Faces DUI Charges in Malibu
Arrest
• Paris’ Brother Spends
Time in Jail
Barron Hilton, 18, of Beverly Hills,
described by authorities as the “younger brother of
Paris Hilton,” was arrested
Tuesday morning in Malibu for driving under
the influence, according to the Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies received a call on a vehicle being
driven erratically near Latigo Canyon Road and Pacific
Coast Highway just before 8 a.m., according to a press
release that in a change of protocol, could only obtained after
the Malibu Surfside News e-mailed a request for it and a
booking photo to department headquarters.
A deputy’s report states that the
driver of another vehicle had reported that Hilton,
driving a black Mercedes Benz, was allegedly weaving on the
road and, at times, driving on the wrong side of the highway.
The witness followed the vehicle until the driver stopped at
Corral Canyon Road and PCH and got out of the car. The witness,
according to the report, contacted the driver and told him to
sit on a bus bench and wait for sheriff’s deputies.
When deputies arrived, they said they
conducted a drunk driving investigation and arrested
Hilton for driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
He was also alleged to be in possession of a fake driver
license.
Hilton was booked at Lost Hills
Sheriff’s Station where he was still being held as The
News went to press. Bail was set at $5000.
It was reported that Hilton had a .14 blood
alcohol reading. In California .08 is considered legally
intoxicated for drivers over 21. For those under 21, any blood
alcohol constitutes legal intoxication.
Bloggers and Internet celebrity sites are
reporting that Hilton, who lives with his parents, left home
Monday evening. The family ostensibly had no idea
where he was or who he was with, but reports are circulating
involving a local dining establishment.
A female passenger was in
Hilton’s vehicle, according to the report.
The female may have been driving the car and been involved
in a collision prior to Hilton taking the wheel. The
California Highway Patrol is handling that aspect of the
investigation and was not available for comment.
