Paris Hilton Accepts Plea Deal in DUI Case
From People.com
Paris Hilton has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in her drunk-driving case, PEOPLE has learned.
Hilton entered a plea of no contest Monday to a lesser charge of reckless driving and was placed on 36 months probation. She must also pay a fine of $390 and attend an alcohol education program.
"I just spoke with Paris an hour ago, and she's happy the matter is behind her," Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, tells PEOPLE.
"We believe this was an appropriate resolution given the facts in this matter and both sides' desire to avoid a trial on the original charges," says Hilton's attorney, Howard Weitzman, who is also representing Nicole Richie in her pending DUI case.
