Paris Hilton's younger brother has been released on bail after following in the heiress' footsteps with a drink-driving arrest.

Barron Hilton, 18, was stopped Tuesday after a witness reported seeing a black Mercedes-Benz weaving on the Pacific Coast Highway, at times drifting into the oncoming lane, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Trouble: Barron was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and being in possession of a fake California driving licence
t was three friends who eventually came to Barron's aid after the hotel heir had spent more than nine hours in a police cell.

Deputies arrested Hilton after he pulled over and got out of the car in Malibu, where he registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.14 percent, authorities said. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent.

He had an unidentified female passenger in the vehicle who had apparently been driving earlier and might have been involved in an accident, the Sheriff's Department said.

Hilton was carrying a fake driver's licence and was also arrested for investigation of carrying a falsified state document.

Barron faces a possible jail sentence and a minimum licence suspension of one year if convicted of the charges.

Paris, who turns 27 on Friday, infamously served 22 days in jail last year after being convicted of driving on a suspended licence.

It followed a conviction for drink-driving in September 2006.

Father Rick Hilton said in a statement: "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."
