CNN-IBN

New Delhi: Hotel heiress and TV reality star Paris Hilton has been sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation in a reckless driving case.

A judge sentenced a shocked and tearful Paris to jail on Friday, ruling that the hotel heiress violated her probation for a previous traffic offense by knowingly driving without a valid license.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer rejected Paris's defense that she didn't realise her license was suspended and ordered the 26-year-old socialite to report to a county detention facility on June 5. If she doesn't appear, the jail the sentence will go up to 90 days

Hilton was arrested for drunken driving in Hollywood in September last year and was sentenced to 36 months of probation.

She has now been found guilty of failing to enroll in an alcohol education program by a court-ordered deadline and of driving on a suspended license.
