Barron Hilton Denies Driving?

By: Shannon Gossage

Hilton, 18, was arrested for DUI a little after 8 a.m. on February 12 after his car reportedly sideswiped another car. Now it is being reported that Hilton was not driving at the time of the accident, but when police arrived he was behind the wheel. He reportedly told his family and friends that he was not the one driving. The Hilton family is allegedly looking to get surveillance tapes from the gas station where he was arrested to try and determine exactly what happened. An eyewitness reportedly told police that they saw the Mercedes sideswipe a pickup truck and that a woman was driving.

Hilton’s blood-alcohol level was reportedly .14 percent. He faces a misdemeanor DUI charge. He was also carrying a fake drivers license, which is a felony. Hilton spent almost nine hours in jail before being released n $20,000 bail. He is due in court on April 14 in Malibu to face the charges. A source reportedly said that the Hilton’s are very concerned with the son’s behavior. According to the source, "He snuck out when his parents went to sleep and then got hammered in the morning. They’ve had family meetings and a lot of sit-down talks since then."

Did he really have a good role model in big sister, Paris? She was also arrested for DUI and eventually spent time behind bars for a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving. Guess now we just have to wait for this Hilton to star in his own risqué home video if he is following in big sis’ footsteps!
