up
after
a
year
of
not
speaking
to
each

-

"She

freaking
out.
Paris
kept
telling
Nicole
not
to
worry,
that
everything
was
going
to
be
fine." The
adopted
daughter
of
singer
Lionel
Richie
was

after
police
arrested
her
in
the
early
hours
of
December
11
for
driving
the
wrong
way
along
a
California
freeway.
Nicole, 25, confessed to officers she had taken the strong painkiller Vicodin and had smoked marijuana. The former heroin addict has a previous DUI charge from 2002 and California law states that a repeat offence carries the mandatory jail sentence of five days. If convicted, Nicole would also have her driving license suspended for one year and be ordered to attend an alcohol education programme for a year-and-a-half, even if the second conviction is not alcohol-related. Paris recently negotiated a plea with prosecutors in her own DUI case.The hotel heiress was charged after she was found to be over the legal blood-alcohol level.
Her excuse was that she had not eaten all day. Paris insisted she had drunk just one margarita cocktail. The 25-year-old pleaded not guilty to DUI, instead pleading no contest to a lesser charge of reckless driving. Paris was placed on probation for 36 months and ordered to pay a $390 fine and attend an alcohol education programme. Her lawyer Howard Weitzman will also represent Nicole in her DUI case.
