Another Hilton Checks into Jail
No one can accuse Barron Hilton of failing to uphold the family name.
Paris' 18-year-old brother is cooling his heels in jail after getting busted on misdemeanor suspicion of driving under the influence.
The arrest took place in Malibu at 8:04 a.m. Tuesday, when the third of Rick and Kathy Hilton's four spawn was pulled over on Pacific Coast Highway by a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy.
Barron Hilton was hauled off to the Lost Hills Station, where he was checked in at 8:35 a.m. Per his booking sheet, he weighed a lean 143 pounds and measured six-one.
According to Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore, Hilton also blew a 0.14 percent blood-alcohol reading, almost double the state limit of 0.08—and that's for drivers over 21 years of age.
He is currently being held on $5,000 bail, apparently because his family has yet to be formally informed of his incarcerated state.
"I haven't been contacted yet by either my son or the police," father Rick Hilton said in a statement. "If what I have heard is true, it is very disturbing and I will have a lot to say—but it will be to my son, not the media."
Sheriff's officials have not immediately commented on the circumstances of Hilton's arrest other than to confirm he had an unidentified passenger in the car and that no drugs were involved.
However, according to pagesix.com, the underage Hilton was arrested after allegedly plowing his Mercedes into a gas station employee. The man was reportedly not hurt but insisted on calling the cops.
Hilton's big sis Paris, meanwhile, set the bar when she pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving last year and subsequently logged three weeks behind bars after violating her probation in case.
