LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The 26-year-old heiress to the Hilton hotel empire will begin her sentence on June 5, the court ruled, following a three-hour hearing at the Metropolitan Court House. Prosecutors told the court Hilton had been stopped in her 190,000-dollar Bentley Continental GTC on January 15 by the California Highway Patrol and told that she was not allowed to be driving. On that occasion, Hilton signed a police statement acknowledging that she was not supposed to drive.
But just over a month later she was hauled over again in Hollywood when spotted driving at night with her headlights off. A spokesman for Hilton said his client was unaware she was violating her parole -- but prosecutors dismissed that line of argument, citing the earlier brush with traffic police in January.
