Paris Hilton to be released on Tuesday

LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton will be issued her get-out-of jail card on
Tuesday after spending almost 3 1/2 weeks in the slammer. The release
date, announced Friday, was determined by the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department's Inmate Reception Center. The exact hour of
Hilton's release was not disclosed.

"There's no set time," said Deputy Luis Castro, adding he didn't know if
any special arrangements had been made to return Hilton to her Hollywood
Hills home.

The 26-year-old Hilton, who was sentenced to 45 days in jail for
violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case,
surrendered on June 3.

Sheriff Lee Baca released her to electronically monitored house arrest on
June 7, citing an undisclosed medical condition he said made her a better
candidate to serve the rest of her time at home.

Her sentencing judge, who had specifically barred Hilton from house
arrest, ordered her to court the next day and returned the sobbing hotel
heiress to jail.

Although her sentence was for 45 days, authorities have said all along
that with time off for good behavior and because of crowded jail
conditions Hilton was likely to serve only 23. Tuesday will mark the 24th
day since she surrendered following an appearance at the MTV Movie Awards.

Hilton's release is scheduled for the same day Baca is to appear before
the county Board of Supervisors, which is investigating whether her June
7 release amounted to preferential treatment.

The sheriff has said Hilton's celebrity focused so much attention on her
case that she actually served more time than an average person would have
under the same circumstances.
