Paris is headed back to jail. She was taken from court screaming and crying after Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered her to return to jail to serve the remainder of her entire 45-day sentence on Friday.
“It’s not right!” Hilton, 26, shouted as deputies approached her in the courtroom. She also called out to her mother in the audience: “Mom!” Kathy Hilton, accompanied by Paris’s father Rick, answered: “Honey!”
Before the hearing began, Hilton entered the courtroom at 11:00 a.m. wearing a gray sweater, gray pinstripe slacks and looking disheveled. FOX News reports she was weeping and turned to her parents seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed, “I love you.”
The judge’s decision came after hearing arguments from both the L.A. City Attorney and Hilton’s lawyers. Judge Sauer ruled that because the sheriff’s department had not adequately submitted medical records supporting why Hilton was released, she should be returned to jail.
Court spokesman Alan Parachini said after the hearing that Judge Sauer hadn’t bought the sheriff’s “medical condition” rationale for sending Hilton home. “What he said was, on the record, that he’d seen no evidence, no documents to support the contention that there was a medical condition.” Details of Hilton’s alleged condition were not released in court.
Earlier in the day, a sheriff’s car picked Hilton up at her home and took her to court for the hearing.
As a swarm of media watched, Hilton parted ways with her parents, and her mother told reporters: “It is what it is and it’s in God’s hands now.”
She added: “It’s out of our hands. There’s nothing we can do.”
Asked how her daughter is faring, Kathy said earlier, “She’s doing the best she can.”
Paris Hilton was seen being handcuffed before getting into a police cruiser and was photographed crying in the backseat.
As the gates of the driveway opened, the scene was pandemonium, with the officers on their bullhorns and Hilton’s fans screaming.
Friday’s proceeding was granted by Judge Sauer after the Los Angeles City Attorney requested an emergency hearing to demand that the Sheriff’s Department put Hilton back in jail.
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo had accused the department of disobeying the judge’s original sentencing orders, which explicitly forbade electronic monitoring.
Yet due to an undisclosed medical condition, Hilton was released from Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., early Thursday and reassigned to home detention after serving just three days of her minimum 23-day sentence.
The heiress was fitted with an ankle bracelet and her original 45-day sentence was reinstated – since she’d enjoy the confines of her Hollywood Hills home instead of a 12-by-8-foot cell – with credit for five days served.
Hilton’s reassignment sparked outrage across the nation; the L.A. Board of Supervisors alone received more than 500 angry calls, e-mails and faxes by Thursday afternoon. At least two of the supervisors demanded an investigation.
Sheriff Lee Baca, who ultimately approved Hilton’s transfer, defended his decision, telling the Los Angeles Times that “the minute I was informed by the doctors about her medical condition, I realized the system was not able to respond effectively to these problems.”
He added that her three-day incarceration was more than what most people guilty of violating probation would receive.
“We did what is best and what is justice,” Baca added.

but it wasn’t her fault that she was being released and out under house arrest. it makes no sense now that she has got to serve the full 45-days sentence.
I hope she kills herself in her cell to make the judge look bad and everyone will love her more.
As someone who received a DUI here in Los Angeles, this is what happens.
For a first time offense, the the minimum sentencing guidelines are:
$1500 fine
12 AA meetings
Hospital/Morgue class
10 Driver Re-education classes
24 hours Cal-Trans road crew (picking up trash on the highways)
90 day suspended license
and…$5000 for a lawyer
In all, one has 90 days to take care of this…you would be amazed on how many people fail this easy task.
If you get a second DUI, you are screwed:
depending on your case, blood alcohol level, license status and if there is property damage or personal injury, you could be sentenced to 1, 3 or 5 years in state prison.
For a third DUI, the terms are 3, 5 or 7 years just on the DUI alone. Any other infractions or crimes committed the sentences are doubled and treated as felonies.
All Paris had to do was lay low, stay out of trouble, do what was required of her terms of probation. She has only herself to blame for her current situation.
Okay, they are going a little too far on this jail thing. First she was sent to jail, then released on house arrest, then back to jail. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!! Paris is suffering. SHE knows what she has done was wrong, I think the judges are just having their fun with it. I honestly think they wanna see her like this. I feel so bad for Paris. LET her just spend her time in peace. I thought house arrest was good enough. Nor did I think the way Sarah Silverman talked about her at the MTV Movie Awards was approiate. Sarah has absoulutly NO ROOM to talk. Paris handled it well, the comments Sarah said were not in the least bit funny, the were cruel and distasteful. Makes me dislike her even more. She is not funny at all.
I cant believe it, that is so unfair. That judge should be put in jail for 45 days for changing the original sentence, are all judges unstabele in America? You have a half-wit for a president so I guess your judges are far worse. Poor Paris, she should be released IMMEDIATELY.
my heart broke when I saw this pic as I have a daughter one year younger whom I love so much. I just read your phone call with Walters. Romans 10;9 sas=ys that “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, then you will be saved. I have worked with youth most of my life, and truly believe your sincerity. Please feel free to email me if you would like to talk more about anything, including your relationship with Jesus Christ, blessings to you, Lee
