Paris Hilton was pulled over in West Hollywood Tuesday night and cited for driving on a suspended license after police stopped her for speeding and driving without her headlights on late Tuesday, according to The Mercury News.
The heiress was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard in her blue Bentley Continental GTC at 11 p.m. She was on her way home from buying DVDs at a Virgin Records Megastore in West Hollywood after spending the day at home for a photo shoot, her publicist Elliot Mintz said.
Paris was issued a ticket for driving on a suspended license, a misdemeanor, and released. A court date was not immediately set. She was alone and there was no sign of drinking or drugs, according to Sgt. Duane Allen Jr. of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
Mintz said Paris didn’t realize the car’s headlights weren’t on because she had just left a parking structure that was brightly lit. She was told by police she was stopped for not having the headlights turned on. Speeding was not mentioned, Mintz said.
“When she called me, she asked if her license was suspended,” Mintz said early Wednesday. “If that’s the case, she and I are unaware of it.”
The 26-year-old starlet was picked up by a friend and taken home after the incident. Her car was impounded.
