Farewell five star: Paris Hilton faces jail for drink-driving



Paris Hilton prepares to face court


Room service and mints on a pillow might be a thing of the past for Hilton heiress for Paris if Los Angeles prosecutors have their way.

Prosecutors have recommended that heiress and reality TV star Paris Hilton serve 45 days in a county jail for violating her probation on a drunken driving misdemeanor, according to court documents.

Hilton is accused of failing to enroll in an alcohol education program by a court-ordered deadline and of driving on a suspended license, prosecutors said.

She is scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles court for a hearing at which a judge may decide to impose a jail sentence that was suspended when she was placed on probation in January.

Hilton was arrested last September on suspicion of driving under the influence.

She pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge in January and was placed on probation for 36 months and was ordered not to drive and to enroll in alcohol education classes within 21 days.

Prosecutors are also asking the judge to impound the car she was driving, a Bentley, extend her driver's license suspension and ban her from drinking alcohol for 90 days.
