You might think that’s pretty steep, but we guarantee this kid will NEVER get behind the wheel drunk again!
Paris Hilton’s younger brother Barron was sued by Fernando Telleza, a gas station attendant at a station on Pacific Coast Highway, for running him over with his car while he was drunk. At the time of the accident in 2008, Barron was not only drunk, but he was underage! Tellez’s attorney claims his client has suffered “permanent disability” and has been forced to “undergo multiple surgeries and medical procedures” ever since.
As of this week, an L.A. County Superior Court jury found him guilty of the charges and he was thus order to pay $4.9 million in damages.
His attorney felt the jury was “wrong” and said so in an official statement to the press. He added that Barron has been “incredibly responsible ever since” and has proven he has grown as a person.
Just because you’ve learned from your mistakes doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay for making them. If this is the punishment your peers felt you deserved, so be it.
