Yup, Paris Hilton surrendered to the L.A. County Sheriff on Sunday night, two days earlier than she legally had to.
The heiress wet straight from the MTV Movie Awards to her parents’ house at 10:30 PM.
Accompanied by Rick & Kathy Hilton and her lawyer, Richard Hutton, Paris was then driven to the Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles, where she officially surrendered.
Our pals at TMZ report that the Sheriff devised the plan of surrendering miles away from Lynwood, where Paris will be doing time, because the crush of paparazzi that had assembled at the jail created a potential safety hazard.
Paris was then driven to the jail in Lynwood where she is now serving her sentence.
Hilton’s lawyer has released the following statement: “I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. During the past few weeks, I have had a lot of time to think and have come to realize I made some mistakes. This is an important point in my life and I need to take responsibility for my actions. In the future, I plan on taking more of an active role in the decisions I make. I want to thank my family, friends and fans for their continued support. Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence.“
Hilton is sentenced to 23 day in jail, but – in all likelihood – she probably won’t have to serve that full sentence.
