Hilton Ordered Back to Prison

A judge has ordered Paris Hilton back to jail to serve out her entire 45-day sentence for a parole violation, after a frenzied roundelay of events that saw the socialite released from prison to house custody, only to be ordered back to court the next day. According to witnesses, she was taken from the courtroom while crying and screaming for her mother. A Los Angeles judge had earlier stepped in and ordered her to appear at a court hearing Friday - after she was reportedly given permission to sit in on the hearing via the phone. Lawyers representing the socialite have been locked in a battle with the Los Angeles City Attorney and the Sheriff's Department over whether she could be allowed to stay at home for the hearing following her release from jail yesterday.After initially reporting that she had been granted permission to phone in her appearance, TMZ.com reported that Judge Michael T. Sauer has ordered Hilton to appear in court Friday afternoon and dispatched a car to pick her up from her Hollywood home. Hilton was in floods of tears when she left her home, handcuffed, to attend the court hearing in the back of a police car. Prosecutors appealed the decision to release Hilton on house arrest yesterday, which would have allowed her to finish her sentence for violating probation at home. Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca insists the decision was made on medical grounds, but critics believe she was granted preferential treatment. The 26-year-old was serving a 23-day sentence in Los Angeles' Century Regional Detention Center for violating her parole following a 2006 drunk-driving arrest.
