Paris's brother gets three years' probation

Paris Hilton’s younger brother Barron has been given three years' probation following his arrest for driving under the influence.

The 18-year-old pleaded no contest to charges of DUI and possessing a fake driver's licence during a hearing at a Los Angeles court.

He also had his licence suspended for a year and must pay $2,000 in fines and attend three alcohol education programmes.

Hilton was stopped by police in Malibu on February 12 and released on bail after spending a day behind bars.

Witnesses claimed he had been driving his Mercedes-Benz in an erratic manner and he was later found to have almost twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

TMZ reports that he was also ordered to visit to the LA County Morgue as part of his sentence.

Lindsay Lohan spent two days in the facility as part of her DUI sentence in January.
