Conrad Hilton is a free man once again.

E! News can confirm Paris Hilton's little brother was released on Monday after serving two months in prison. He was originally put behind bars in June after violating the terms of his probation stemming from an outburst on an international flight in February 2015. 

He was put on parole in March 2015, but after failing a drug test, he was ordered into a 90-day residential substance abuse treatment program, which he entered in January of this year. However, Conrad was then removed from the program after testing positive for drugs—including cocaine, marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids—three times within the year.

During the hearing in June, assistant U.S. attorney Alexander Schwab said Conrad was given multiple chances to obey the terms of his probation. "What we haven't tried yet is a custodial term," he said, noting that Conrad has reoffended "in precisely the same way—over and over and over."

At the time of the hearings, Conrad asked the judge to let him serve the 60-day sentence under house arrest at his grandfather's home in Palm Springs, saying it would be easier to avoid his friends in Los Angeles who are "a bad influence." Conrad said he couldn't do house arrest at Rick Hilton and Kathy Hilton's home, admitting it's a "bad environment" where he's "used to just sitting there and getting high 24-7." He also asked to do a "work program" instead of doing hard time, which was denied.

This all began in February 2015 when Conrad attacked several flight attendants during a British Airways flight from London to L.A. E! News learned that during the nearly 11-hour trip, Conrad physically threatened two crew members and repeatedly smoked marijuana and cigarettes in the airplane lavatory. He also referred to his fellow passengers "peasants" and accused flight attendants of "taking the peasants' side."

He was later restrained and handcuffed. "I could get you all fired in five minutes. I know your boss," he told them, per the complaint. "My father will pay this out; he has done it before. Dad paid $300,000 last time."

The next month, a judge placed him on three years probation and ordered him to complete 750 hours of community service.
