Nicole Richie Spends 82 Minutes in Jail
By Consuela B. | August 23, 2007
Nicole Richie was released from jail Thursday after serving 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs.
The reality show star, who checked into jail in this Los Angeles suburb at 3:15 p.m., was released at 4:37 p.m. “based on her sentence and federal guidelines,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Maribel Rizo said without elaborating.
When asked whether Richie, who is four months pregnant, spent her brief sentence in a jail cell, Rizo replied: “I have no further comment.”
Richie’s brief jail visit took place at the same jail Paris Hilton’s nearly three weeks went down for driving on a suspended license. Meanwhile, Richie pleaded guilty in late July to a misdemeanor DUI charge in a deal with prosecutors that helped her avoid a potential year in jail on a second alcohol-related conviction.
If you recall, her first conviction was in 2003, for driving under the influence of alcohol. And then on Dec. 11th, 2006, she was arrested after witnesses reported seeing her black Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle headed the wrong way on a freeway in Burbank. The California Highway Patrol said they found her parked in the car-pool lane. Richie told authorities she had smoked marijuana and taken the prescription painkiller Vicodin, a CHP officer said at the time. No drugs were found on her or in the car.
Oh, and let’s not forget this model citizen is pregnant.
What other’s are saying:
- Dlisted says, HAHAH. First Blohan gets one day of jail and then Nicole serves not even 2 hours. You know Paris is punching all her dogs in anger!

82 minutes. Eighty. Two. Minutes. Wow. I’m sure she’s learned her lesson. I know I would.
Pfft. That’s not even enough time for Bertha the Cellmate to initiate foreplay.
