Paris Hilton pleads guilty and gets year's probation

Paris Hilton is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor drug charges to avoid jail time under the terms of a plea deal worked out with prosecutors.

Clark County District Attorney David Roger says the 29-year-old heiress will plead guilty Monday to drug possession and obstructing an officer to avoid two consecutive six month sentences stemming from her arrest last month at a Las Vegas hotel-casino, CBS News reports.

In return, she has to pay $2,000 in fines, complete 200 hours of community service and complete what is being described as an "intensive" substance abuse program.

Hilton was arrested on August 27 in Las Vegas after the SUV she was riding in was pulled over and police found 0.8 grams of cocaine in her purse. Hilton later claimed the purse didn't belong to her and blasted rumors surrounding her case, MTV.com reports.
