No jail time for Paris Hilton.
Celebrity socialite Paris Hilton has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanors in her pending drug possession case, netting her a year of probation but no jail time.Jacked from Las Vegas Journal
Hilton is scheduled to formally plead guilty Monday to misdemeanor drug possession and misdemeanor obstructing an officer before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure.
The 29-year-old was arrested late on Aug. 27 on one felony count of cocaine possession after she opened a Chanel flap bag to get some lip balm and a small plastic bag of cocaine fell out, landing in the palm of a Las Vegas police lieutenant.
The original felony charge would not have resulted in any jail time. By statute a conviction for felony cocaine possession requires mandatory probation.
According to the plea agreement obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, two consecutive six-month sentences in the Clark County Detention Center will be suspended and Hilton will be placed on year long probation.
If Hilton is arrested during her probation, she will have to serve a full year in jail, according to the plea deal.
"Defendant shall stay out of trouble. Defendant agrees that an arrest for any charge, excluding minor traffic violations for which a citation is issued, shall result in the immediate termination of her probation and the execution of the suspended sentences," the plea deal states. A minor traffic violation is anything other than a reckless driving or driving under the influence charge.
Hilton must also successfully complete a substance abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and perform 200 hours of community service, according to the plea deal. The nature and location of the community service will be determined later.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger said, "We fashioned a resolution which would give us complete control over her future. If she does not toe the line and stay out of trouble she will do one year in the Clark County Detention Center."
Most other defendants would not have a year of jail hanging over their heads for being arrested, Roger said. Normally a conviction would be necessary.
"There are very strict limits on her future conduct. We will not have to litigate whether she was convicted of the charge or whether the charge was a major or minor offense," Roger said.
Roger said prison time was not an option because of the limitations on the charge by statute, and that Hilton won't get special treatment. She will have to walk through the front doors of the courthouse "just like any other criminal defendant," he said.

Of course she would not get any time! These damn celebrities break the law and get away with the shit...She needs to serve time just like an average person would as a lesson....Justice sucks!
that's some bullshit. how many chances does this bitch get. if it was me, i would be in jail.
She called dadda and he fixed everything. She'll be in trouble again, before you can bat an eye 'cos she never has to deal with any consequences. It's all a joke to her. She could care less about having a record, she's rich and never has to apply for a job. The rest of us gotta tow the line in life. She makes me vomit!
Was there ever any doubt????? I hope that one day soon, the day will come that people like Paris Hilton will be made to pay for their crimes. If Hulk Hogan's son can spend time behind bars for vehicular manslaughter, Paris Hilton can't be in jail for possession because....?
RICH WHITE GIRL+ DRUGS + GET CAUGHT RIDIN' DIRTY + PROBATION = PARIS HILTON.
THE END.
