A real-life version of Cops has seriously cut in on Paris Hilton's party time.
For those of you wondering why the hotel heiress was late in arriving at Thursday night's Motorola party in Hollywood, she was busy dealing with the Los Angeles Police Department, who had served a subpoena at her Hollywood Hills home.
"All I know is she was summoned to be a witness on a case," her publicist, Jack Ketsoyan, said Friday.
Video showed several police swarming Hilton's home as a white limo idled outside, waiting to whisk her to her party du jour. (The LAPD is familiar with the grounds, having been to Chez Hilton earlier this week, when her Halloween party got so out of control Christian Slater ended up falling off the roof of the neighbor's house.)
According to an LAPD spokesperson, Hilton "is a witness in a criminal investigation." Specifically, the police subpoena regards a burglary that took place last summer at a Hollywood Hills abode rented by Hilton and sister Nicky.
Police say Paris Hilton is a material witness to the crime and want to know any information she has regarding Darnell Riley, an alleged burglar who targeted L.A.'s fabulous set.
Riley, 28, was arrested in March for a robbery involving Girls Gone Wild mastermind Joe Francis. Riley is also being investigated for a high-profile heists at the homes of Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson, club promoter Tommy Alastra and the Hiltons, per the New York Post.
The newspaper quoted an unnamed police source saying many of the crimes followed similar patterns: an unnamed Elite model would hit the party circuit and weasel herself into the confidence of the target, then pass along relevant info (security codes, house layout, etc.) to Riley, who would allegedly handle the breaking and entering.
The Hilton sisters were hit Aug. 4, 2004. The perp, who apparently entered by cutting through a screen, got away with a laptop, wads of cash and more than $100,000 in jewelry. Also missing: several of Nicky's designer bags, a collection of watches, photographs and videotapes. The Post later reported that Paris Hilton was being blackmailed to keep one tape away from the public--an item neither the Hiltons nor police have confirmed.
As for Thursday's little get-together, Hilton chatted with police until approximately 10:30 p.m., when she boarded the limo and departed to Motorola's annual party benefiting Toys for Tots.
The police and subpoena didn't warrant a mention once Hilton arrived. Instead she was all business. "Motorola always has the best party of the year," she said upon entering the bash. "So I'm really happy to be here."
