Paris Hilton to avoid felony Conviction
Under the terms of a plea deal worked out with prosecutors, the celebrity heiress will serve a year of probation and avoid a felony conviction.
Hilton plead guilty to drug possession and obstructing an officer. She must complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service.
If she is arrested for anything besides a minor traffic violation she will spend a year in jail, there will be no discussion. The court will have no discretion.
She was scheduled to make an in-store appearance in Tokyo Wednesday, but that's in jeopardy after she was detained upon landing at Japan's Narita Airport...
Hilton's rep confirms that immigration officials detained Paris upon arrival. Anyone on a suspended jail term (such as Hilton) is not allowed to enter Japan except for "special reasons," the Narita branch of the Tokyo immigration control office told local news agency Jiji.
Hilton's travel was not restricted as part of her drug sentence, according to the Las Vegas D.A.

Recordings of phone calls and other conversations between Banton and the informant, Alexander Johnson, were also played in Court Today.
