Paris Hilton's younger brother sentenced for disrupting flight
Los Angeles, June 17
Socialite Paris Hilton's
younger brother Conrad Hilton has been sentenced to three years of
probation for causing a disruption on an international flight.
He
was also required to do 750 hours of community service and pay a $5,000
fine for his disorderly conduct, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The
Hilton heir pleaded guilty in March to a misdemeanour assault stemming
from a meltdown aboard a British Airways flight from London to Los
Angeles on July 31, 2014.
The 21-year-old is said to have yelled at the flight attendants and even threatened to kill them.
According
to an affidavit written by an FBI agent who investigated the
disturbance, Conrad was restrained and handcuffed during the flight
after calling some passengers "peasants" and threatening the flight
attendants.
He also smoked marijuana and cigarettes in an airplane toilet.
After
the mid-flight outburst, Conrad voluntarily checked into a 30-day
inpatient drug and alcohol treatment programme in February.
Conrad's attorney Robert Shapiro claimed that his client's disruptive behaviour was "the effects of a sleeping pill".
