Early Release Was A Surprise To Nicole Richie
While the Los Angeles County Jail is notorious for cutting celebrities a break, Nicole Richie was “pleasantly surprised” to get released just 82 minutes after she was booked.
Attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said, “Nicole was aware that most people with sentences similar to hers are booked and released in a matter of hours and she was hoping to be treated like everyone else. Nevertheless, she was prepared to serve her entire four-day sentence had the Sheriff’s Department required her to do so.”
The Simple Life babe caught her break due to overcrowding in the jail system. According to Kerri Webb (what happened to Steve Whitmore?) “This is standard procedure for nonviolent offenders.”
Instead of pining away in jail, Nicole will serve a three-year probation term, enroll in an alcohol education program, and pay a $2048 fine. In other words, as long as she isn’t arrested anytime soon, she’s golden. And even Nicole isn’t dumb enough to drink now that she’s five months along in her pregnancy… we hope.
Enjoy the pictures of Nicole and boyfriend Joel Madden taking their dog to the vet’s office the morning before her jail stint (August 23).
