Paris Hilton just can’t stay out of the spotlight – or out of the courtroom.
This time the dynamic diva, who’s most famous for simply being famous, has been cited for driving while her license was suspended.
The hotel heiress was pulled over on Hollywood’s famed Sunset Boulevard late Tuesday night, because she was driving after dark without her headlights on.
When the officer asked to see her license, she showed it to him. But it allegedly wasn’t valid, meaning she never should have been behind the wheel in the first place.
“Miss Paris Hilton was driving the vehicle,” explains Deputy Sheriff Oscar Butao. “After investigating her license status it was determined that she was driving on a suspended license.”
This latest brush with the law comes just five weeks after the 26-year-old was sentenced to three years probation. She pled no contest to reckless driving charges involving alcohol, after being collared for the crime last September.
Cops impounded Hilton’s expensive blue Bentley in the interim, but she’s free to go. Officials explain she’ll be back before a judge ‘soon’, although her latest court date has yet to be set.
