After a picture of Paris Hilton shown crying outside a nightclub was blasted online earlier this week, it looks like the young socialite has good reason to be crying right now.
The hotel heiress is usually the life of the party, but not last night when she was busted for driving under the influence.
Police say Paris was arrested early Thursday morning for DUI when they saw her driving erratically and pulled her over for a breathalyzer test.
Officer I. Isabella confirmed the arrest, which was made shortly after 12:30a.m. in Hollywood.
According to police, the wild party girl was driving home after attending a charity event. Earlier that day, she had spent some time making a new music video for her album.
In a statement, Isabella said, "The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence."
Paris was then booked on a misdemeanor DUI and released a short while later.
The legal limit of blood-alcohol level in California to warrant an arrest is 0.08 percent. Paris' spokesperson, Elliot Mintz, said she reached the minimum for an arrest but only had one drink throughout the night - a margarita.
Of course, plenty of excuses can really come in handy at a time like this. Elliot says the DUI was probably the result of "an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued."
When asked about how Paris is currently doing, he said, "She's absolutely fine."
