Andhracafe.com- Los Angeles, March 31 (IANS) Paris Hilton has been found in violation of the terms of her probation and faces a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail, reports www.Hollywood.tv.

The announcement was made by the Los Angeles(LA) city attorney's office.

Hilton was pulled over by LA county sheriff's deputies around 11 p.m. on Feb 27 when they spotted her speeding down Sunset Boulevard in her 2007 Bentley Continental GTC Convertible without her headlights on.

According to the sheriff's spokesman Oscar Butao, the deputies discovered that Hilton was driving with a license that had been suspended last September after she had been arrested on a DUI (driving under influence of liquor) charge. She later pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving on Jan 22, and was sentenced to 36 months probation.

Soon after the Feb 27 incident, Hilton's spokesman Elliot Mintz explained that Hilton had no idea that her license had been suspended.

'When Paris called me (after she was pulled over), she asked if her license was suspended,' Mintz said. 'If that's the case, she and I are unaware of it.'

But Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the city attorney's office, said Thursday: 'We have sufficient evidence to prove that Hilton had knowledge of the suspension, and yet continued to drive.' A hearing has been set for April 17.
