Nicole Richie Reports to Jail, Then Leaves
Nicole Richie was booked at the Lynwood County Jail, where pal Paris Hilton served time earlier this year, at 3:15 this afternoon. She was sentenced in July for driving on the wrong side of the freeway in her 2nd DUI arrest. Superior Court Commissioner Steven K. Lubell handed down a sharp tongue-lashing to the pint-sized star as slapped her with a four-day sentence.”The facts of this case, as the court knows it, is pretty scary. Someone could have gotten killed or injured. The court does not want anything to happen to you,” Lubell told Richie.”If you continue to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and someone gets killed, you can be charged with murder, not manslaughter.” “I hope that never, ever happens.”
He says that the murder charge would stick because she has two prior convictions. He says that it must be completed by September 28 and she must enroll in a rehab program and by Feb. 2008 must prove that she completed that program. She has been processed and is currently serving her 96 hour sentence.
I just learned that she only served 35 minutes in her cell released at 4:37 PM and her super lawyer got her out early. I am not very surprised, I didn’t think she’d even serve closer to 24 hours in jail. I guess we will just have to wait and see what will unfold next.
