HILTON REGRETS DRINK DRIVING
LATEST: PARIS HILTON said yesterday (07SEP06) her drink driving arrest "was nothing", but her representative insists she is taking the situation very seriously.
The 25-year-old was pulled over by police in Hollywood at 12:31 am on Thursday (07SEP06) for driving erratically and was found to be legally drunk with a blood alcohol level of .08.
Hilton’s publicist ELLIOTT MINTZ tells the New York Daily News, "She regrets what happened. She did not take this matter lightly or frivolously.
"She had never been arrested before, and it was clearly humiliating and disorienting." The STARS ARE BLIND singer told Los Angeles radio show host RYAN SEACREST that she’d been "speeding a little bit" to fast food burger joint In-N-Out after leaving a charity event where she’d had only one margarita.
The socialite has been slammed by safety groups, who insist she is setting a bad example for young people by drinking and driving.
Mintz adds, "Paris regrets getting behind the wheel with even one drink. She had not eaten all day.
"She was a little weak. She left the event intending to go to In-N-Out burger. She is a big fan of fast food."
