Paris Hilton arrest update

The Associated Press

The Los Angeles Police Department has submitted to the city attorney’s office its case against Paris Hilton, who was arrested last week on suspicion of driving under the influence, an office spokesman said Tuesday.

Lawyers will review the case to determine whether to file charges against the 25-year-old heiress, said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the city attorney’s office.

“We will submit our decision by the Sept. 28 arraignment date,” he said.

Hilton was arrested Sept. 7 in Hollywood after officers stopped her for driving erratically. Police said her blood-alcohol level was 0.08 percent, which is the legal limit in California.
