Barron Hilton, the younger brother of socialite Paris Hilton, is adding further “glory” to the family name: arrested for DUI Tuesday morning and released on a $20,000 bond half a day later!

The Hilton family had no mercy for young Barron; the 18-year-old spent what must have felt like a long Tuesday at the Lost Hills Sheriff's station, waiting for someone, anyone!, to post his $20,000 bond and have him released.

Barron was arrested at 8:30 a. m. on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on charges of driving under the influence and carrying a fake driver's license, People magazine reports on its website.

The young man was driving a black Mercedes with a passenger when he was pulled over. Another driver apparently noticed him drive erratically; when Barron stopped, the fellow motorist had him sit on a bus bench until deputies arrived, People reports, quoting L. A. County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Barron failed a field sobriety test; his blood-alcohol level was .14 percent, said Whitmore. He was taken to the Lost Hills Sheriff's station, where he had plenty of time to do some soul-searching while his buddies scrambled to find the necessary money to free him.

The Mercedes was impounded.

The California legal limit for a person over 21 is .08 percent, but for a person under 21, any blood-alcohol level is considered legally drunk. The DUI charge is a misdemeanor, People reports, but carrying a fake license is considered a felony.

Paris Hilton, his older sister who has already had plenty of experience with DUI arrests and with jail, would not help him out, according to celebrity gossip site tmz.com. His friends sought a bail bondsman, eventually managing to post his bond.

Barron was released at around 5:50 PM.

You could think that having your sister spend 22 well-publicized days in jail is a good lesson. Not enough for Barron apparently. Paris was charged with DUI in September 2006 and later said jail “changed” her.

The siblings’ father, Rick Hilton, did not sound very sympathetic in the statement released yesterday: “I haven't been contacted yet by either my son or the police. If what I have heard is true, it is very disturbing and I will have a lot to say – but it will be to my son, not the media.”

That boy is probably going to get an earful!
