What happened to Conrad Hughes Hilton?

Paris Hilton's brother has a history of legal troubles. Here are some of Conrad's legal cases that caught the attention of the public and the media:

Conrad Hilton was injured in a crash near Palm Springs

In 2014, the then-19-year-old recklessly drove and crashed a 2013 BMW in Palm Springs and eluded police. The BMW collided with the rear of a tractor-trailer before stopping on the side of the road.

Conrad was seriously injured in the crash. Emergency crews had to free him from his car and take him to Desert Regional Medical Center. The driver, Davy Van, 31, was not injured but was being examined for injuries. Investigators determined drugs and alcohol did not play a role in the collision.

Hilton's 10-hour meltdown on a British Airways flight

On 31 July 2015, Hughes caused a "drug-fueled" disturbance on a British Airways flight from London to LA. He smoked hemp in the plane bathroom and reportedly threatened to kill one flight attendant.

Flight 269 landed safely in Los Angeles without being diverted, but Hilton faced federal charges. Conrad's numerous commotions and homophobic taunts delayed his court hearing and necessitated psychiatric treatment.

He pleaded guilty to the charges in 2015, and despite potentially facing 20 years in prison, the plea deal gave him a $5,000 fine, three years probation, and 750 hours of community service. After the incident, Conrad voluntarily checked into rehab.

The then-21-year-old was arrested in June 2015 for allegedly violating a restraining order obtained by his ex-girlfriend, actress Hunter Daily Salomon, at a residence in the Hollywood Hills. He was booked on suspicion of a misdemeanor offense at the LAPD's Hollywood Station and released on $5,000 bail.

Conrad Hilton was ordered to go to rehab

After being arrested twice within four months in 2015, the court ordered Conrad to attend a rehabilitation for substance abuse in January 2016. That was after he failed drug tests and parole violations.

Hilton had violated his probation by trespassing into Hunter's home, failing drug tests, and leaving California without approval from his probation officer. He had also failed to complete three treatment programs.

Conrad admitted that he used drugs in violation of his parole, stemming from a 2015 arrest. Consequently, the court extended his mandatory rehab and probation in February 2016.

He was instructed to attend a residential rehab treatment program for six months and his probation was extended for three years.

Conrad Hilton was sentenced to prison for failing drug tests

In July 2016, Hughes was sentenced to two months in prison after he failed several drug tests and was terminated from a substance abuse program. His parents confirmed his chronic drug issues dating back to his teens. Conrad was released in August 2016.

Conrad faced other legal crises in May 2017. The then-23-year-old violated a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend, Hunter Salomon, and took a Bentley belonging to her father, Rick Salomon. Rick Salomon famously filmed a sex tape with Conrad's oldest sister, Paris Hilton.

Hughes was taken into custody on a felony charge of grand theft auto and booked on $60,000 bail. Hunter and Conrad briefly dated when she was 15. After they broke up, she obtained a restraining order against him for breaking into her home several times.

When being arraigned in court for the second day following his arrest in May 2017 for grand theft auto and violating a restraining order, Conrad began to mouth vulgarities and hurl homophobic slurs at the prosecutor when she spoke about how vulgar he was during his arrest.

He was instructed to pay over $50K bail and the $90K he had been ordered to pay on the previous day he had appeared in court and be released from prison.

In April 2018, Conrad told a judge he was in good health, one year after screaming slurs in court and claiming cops molested him following his arrest in May 2017.

Hilton was facing up to seven years in prison on charges related to the grand theft auto and violating a restraining order. In June 2018, he was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to attend mental health and substance abuse addiction counseling.
