Tearful heiress Paris Hilton was sent back to jail to serve the rest of her sentence behind bars less than 36 hours after she was allowed home.
Supreme Court Judge Michael Sauer called her back to his courtroom after Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca allowed Hilton home to finish her sentence wearing a tag.
After she was returned to jail, Mr Baca said he had allowed Hilton home due to “her severe medical problems” and confirmed that her condition was “mental”.
Mr Baca said: “This lady has some severe problems.
“I can’t trust her tenuous status. I need more cooperation from the courts and from the city attorney’s office.”
He went on: “If there’s any further deterioration, hopefully we’ll be able to address it.”
The 26-year-old was taken from court screaming yesterday after she was imprisoned for a second time by Supreme Court Judge Michael Sauer.
Hilton shouted: “It’s not right!” and “Mum” as she was escorted from the Los Angeles court by Sheriff’s deputies.
On Thursday, the celebrity inmate was sent home from the Los Angeles County Jail’s Lynwood lockup shortly after 2am for an unspecified medical condition, only three full days into her original 45-day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
She was told she could finish her sentence under house arrest, meaning she could not leave her four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in the Hollywood Hills until next month.
But the move was strongly opposed by the sentencing judge and the city’s chief prosecutor and she was ordered to return to court yesterday, where the judge sent her back to jail.
The hotel heiress, who was taken to court in handcuffs in a sheriff’s car, entered the courtroom crying.
Her hair was dishevelled and she wore a grey sweatshirt.
She wore no makeup and cried throughout the hearing.
Her body also shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes.
Several times she turned to her parents who were seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed the words: “I love you.”
Judge Sauer told the court: “I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions.
“At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home on Kings Road.”
Assistant City Attorney Dan Jeffries said Hilton should be returned to jail and said that was purely the judge’s decision to make.
“Her release after only three days erodes confidence in the judicial system,” he said.
Hilton’s lawyer, Richard Hutton, asked the judge to order a hearing in his chambers at which he would hear evidence about Hilton’s medical condition before making a decision.
But the judge did not respond to that suggestion.
Another of Hilton’s attorneys, Steve Levine, said: “The Sheriff has determined that because of her medical situation, this (jail) is a dangerous place for her.
