Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

Posted on 01 Apr 2007 by Paris

Paris Hilton is seeking support from Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie as she anticipates a court hearing next month.

The hotel heiress has been accused of driving while banned and could face 90 days in jail when her fate is decided on April 17.

A source told the Daily Star: "Nicole knows exactly what Paris is going through. Nicole was arrested for driving the wrong way on an eight-lane highway last year and then spent time in rehab. She is one of many of Paris's pals who are doing everything they can to cheer her up."

Hilton was banned from driving following a drink-related reckless driving offence in September, but she allegedly got back behind the wheel last month. Her spokesman Elliot Mintz has claimed that she was not aware that her licence had been suspended.

He added: "The situation is being handled by Paris's attorney."

Eleven people have been charged with the theft of passenger property at Los Angeles International Airport, prosecutors said on Friday, including a baggage screener accused of stealing a $100,000 watch from Paris Hilton's bag.

The suspects, who also included two U.S. Transportation Security Administration screeners charged with taking a $7,000 watch belonging to R&B singer Keyshia Cole, were arrested as part of a crackdown on crime at the airport.

Prosecutors say George Penaranda, a 27-year-old TSA screener, was spotted by a co-worker taking a Paris Hilton Limited Edition watch from the hotel heiress's bag, slipping it into his glove and then his pocket in May of 2006.

Penaranda replaced the watch, which was valued at $100,000, after he realized that he had been observed, City Attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan said. He was charged with grand theft and faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if he is convicted.

Screeners Qualonda Matthews, 32, and Millicent Pounds, 49, were charged with one count of grand theft, one count of misappropriation of property and one count of conspiracy.

Prosecutors say that after Cole left her $7,000 watch behind at a security checkpoint, Matthews and Pounds took it from the airport's lost property section and ultimately sold it in Las Vegas.

The eight other people charged included five TSA screeners, two employees of an airport subcontractor and a transient.

The crackdown is the result of a task force involving nearly a dozen law enforcement agencies, including the city attorney's office, Los Angeles Police Department, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the TSA.

The Los Angeles City Attorney has just filed criminal charges against a T.S.A. employee at Los Angeles International Airport, alleging that he took a high-priced watch out of Paris Hilton's luggage.

It happened last year with a baggage screener at British Airways. The employee allegedly took a watch worth several thousand dollars out of one of Paris' carry-on bags.

In addition to that employee, the City Attorney is filing charges against seven other T.S.A. employees, alleging they did similar things to other passengers.

No indication on whether Paris will testify.
