Barron Hilton Arrested and Released After Posting $20,000 Bail
Several hours after he was arrested Tuesday morning, Barron Hilton was bailed out of jail.
According to information obtained from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, the 18-year-old Hilton was released at 5:34 PM after posting $20,000 bail.
He was arrested in Malibu at 8:04 AM and booked into LASD’s Lost Hills station 31 minutes later.
After receiving a call about a black Mercedes, "weaving on the roadway and at times driving on the wrong side of the highway," police arrived on the scene, where Hilton had stopped. The teen blew a .14 blood alcohol reading, the LASD told Access Hollywood.
However, contrary to previous reports, Hilton has not been charged yet with DUI (a misdemeanor) or carrying a fake driver’s license (a felony).
The LASD told Access both charges have been handed to the DA’s office, which will determine if there is sufficient evidence to bring charges.
Hilton is scheduled to be arraigned on April 14.
According to deputies, Hilton also had a female passenger in the vehicle and, "apparently the female was driving the Mercedes prior to Hilton and was possibly involved in a collision."
The California Highway Patrol is handling the investigation involving the female passenger. When contacted by Access Hollywood, a spokesperson for CHP was not immediately available for comment.
