Paris caught driving on suspended license

Paris Hilton has been arrested and her $US190,000 ($A241,500) blue Bentley siezed after the heiress was caught driving on a suspended licence.
Prosecutors are asking that a judge to revoke her probation for reckless driving. A court determination that Hilton violated the terms of her probation could result in her being fined or even jailed for up to 90 days, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office said.
Hilton was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard in the city of West Hollywood late on Tuesday night for driving without headlights, and her luxury car was impounded when police realised her licence had been suspended.
Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said his client told him she was stopped briefly while on her way to a store to pick up some DVDs.
He said she had apparently forgotten to turn on her headlights when she pulled out of a parking garage.
The incident comes about five weeks after Hilton was sentenced to three years probation for pleading no contest - the equivalent of a guilty plea - to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a September arrest in Hollywood.
Miss Hilton was cited for a suspended licence violation and released in the field. Her 2007 blue Bentley Continental GTC was impounded.
Once police present prosecutors with the citation, the City Attorney will ask a court to revoke her probation, and a hearing on the matter will be set.
If the judge revokes her probation, Hilton could face penalties ranging from 90 days in jail to a new, lengthier probation sentence, fines or additional community service obligations.
