Within
hours
of
being
sent
home
to
be
kept
under
house
arrest
on
Thursday
with
an
alibi
of
an
undisclosed
medical
condition,
the
judge
who
put
her
in
jail
for
violating
her
reckless-driving
probation
ordered
her
into
court
to
decide
if
she
should
go
back
behind
bars.
The
Superior
Court
spokesman
Allan
Parachini
told
the
The
Associated
Press
that
she
must
report
to
court
at
9
a.m.
today,
i.e.
Friday.
He
said
as
per
his
understanding,
she
will
be
brought
in
in
a
sheriff's
vehicle
from
her
home.
The
celebrity
inmate
was
sent
home
from
the
Los
Angeles
County
jail's
Lynwood
lockup
shortly
after
2
a.m.
in
a
stunning
reduction
to
her
original
45-day
sentence.
She
had
reported
to
jail
Sunday
night
after
attending
the
MTV
Movie
Awards
in
a
strapless
designer
dress.
She
was
ordered
to
finish
her
sentence
under
house
arrest
and
would
remain
under
electronic
surveillance,
meaning
she
could
not
leave
her
plush
home
in
the
Hollywood
Hills
until
next
month.
City
Attorney
Rocky
Delgadillo
complained
that
he
learned
of
her
release
only
through
news
reports,
as
did
everyone
else,
and
late
Thursday,
he
filed
a
petition
questioning
whether
Sheriff
Lee
Baca
should
be
held
in
contempt
of
court
for
releasing
Hilton
-
and
demanding
that
she
be
held
in
custody.
Superior
Court
Judge
Michael
T.
Sauer's
decision
to
haul
Hilton
back
to
the
courtroom
came
shortly
after.
"It
is
the
city
attorney's
position
that
the
decision
on
whether
or
not
Ms.
Hilton
should
be
released
early
and
placed
on
electronic
monitoring
should
be
made
by
Judge
Sauer
and
not
the
Sheriff's
Department," said
Jeffrey
Isaacs
of
the
city
attorney's
office.
Sauer
himself
had
expressed
his
unhappiness
with
Hilton's
release
before
Delgadillo
asked
him
to
return
her
to
court.
When
he
sentenced
Hilton
to
jail
last
month,
he
ruled
specifically
that
she
could
not
serve
her
sentence
at
home
under
electronic
monitoring.
On
the
flip
side
to
the
story,
Delgadillo's
office
has
indicated
that
it
would
argue
that
the
Sheriff's
Department
violated
Sauer's
May
4
sentencing
order.
Baca
defended
the
decision
to
release
Hilton,
saying
it
was
based
on
medical
advice,
even
as
he
declined
to
specify
Hilton's
real
condition.
He
remarked
that
those
who
don't
like
celebrities,
aver
that
they
should
be
punished
more
than
the
average
American,
which
is
not
at
all
justice.
As
word
spread
earlier
Thursday
that
the
26-year-old
poster
child
for
bad
celebrity
behavior
was
back
home,
radio
helicopter
pilots
who
normally
report
on
traffic
conditions
were
dispatched
to
hover
over
her
house
and
describe
it
to
morning
commuters.
Paparazzi
photographers
on
the
ground
quickly
assembled
outside
its
gates.
Hilton
herself
kept
a
low
profile,
although
late
in
the
morning
a
man
arrived
outside
her
house
with
a
supply
of
cupcakes
he
said
she
had
instructed
him
to
distribute
to
the
media
horde.
Her
parents
also
arrived
and
briefly
entered,
then
left,
the
home.
Shortly
before
noon,
Hilton
issued
a
statement
through
her
attorney,
in
which
she
thanked
the
Los
Angeles
Sheriff's
Department
and
the
staff
of
the
Century
Regional
Detention
center
for
giving
her
a
fair
and
professional
treatment.
She
said
she
will
abide
by
the
court's
decision
to
serve
her
remaining
40
days
of
her
sentence,
and
admitted
that
she
had
learnt
a
lesson
from
from
her
recent
ordeal,
and
hoped
that
others
have
also
learnt
from
her
mistakes.
