She Must Have Blown The Wrong Breathalyzer

Had she blown the "right" one, she would have probably gotten off (no pun intended)

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Celebrity Paris Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence early Thursday after driving erratically and failing a field sobriety test, police said.

Shortly after midnight, officers assigned to a driving-under-the-influence task force spotted Hilton driving erratically in Hollywood and pulled her over.

"She exhibited the symptoms of intoxication," LAPD spokesman Irv Isabella said.

Hilton, 25, was asked to perform a field sobriety test, which she failed, and was arrested and charged with DUI, a misdemeanor.

Isabella could not confirm whether Hilton was handcuffed, but he said it is standard procedure to handcuff people arrested on charges of DUI.

Hilton was released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

"We have faith she will appear in court," Isabella said.

Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the arrest and said police detected the minimum blood-alcohol level to warrant an arrest, the Associated Press reported. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent.

"She's absolutely fine," Mintz told AP.

At the time of her arrest, Hilton was driving home from a charity event where she had one drink, Mintz told AP.

She had spent the day shooting a music video for her new album, AP reported. The driving under the influence symptoms were "probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued," Mintz said.

In June, Hilton had a fender-bender accident when her Range Rover backed into a car in a parking garage after a shopping trip, AP reported.
