Paris Driven to Probation Violation?

Paris Hilton should know by now that, even if the stars are blind, the cops aren't. 

The 26-year-old heiress violated her probation last month when police caught her driving with a suspended license, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office announced Thursday, and she's facing a maximum 90-day jail sentence if a judge agrees. 

Hilton received 36 months' probation and about $400 in fines and was ordered to attend an alcohol-education course after pleading no contest in January to one misdemeanor count of alcohol-influenced reckless driving, stemming from her In-N-Out Burger-inspired DUI bust last September. 

The City Attorney's Office had been investigating Hilton's Feb. 27 run-in with the LAPD, when she was spotted speeding down Sunset Boulevard with the headlights on her 2007 Bentley Continental GTC Convertible turned off.  

After officers pulled her over and determined that Hilton's license was on hold, the Simple Life star was ticketed and her $190,000 ride was impounded.

If Hilton knew that the DMV had temporarily revoked her driving privileges, "that would be a potential violation of her probation," City Attorney's Office spokesman Nick Velasquez told E! Online. "And we are confident that we have sufficient evidence to prove that her license was suspended and that she had knowledge of it at the time."

Meanwhile, Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, said last month that she was not aware that she was motoring around with a suspended license. 

"The situation is being handled by Paris' attorney," Mintz said in a statement Thursday. "It would be inappropriate for us to say anything further at this time."

A hearing has been set for Apr. 17.
