A gas station employee who says Barron Hilton hit him while the hotel heir was driving under the influence has filed suit for his injuries. Fernando Mendoza Tellez is asking for unspecified damages from the CA DUI incident.
Barron, the younger brother of Paris Hilton, sideswiped a truck with his Mercedes on Pacific Coast Highway on the morning of February 12, 2008. Hilton pulled into a Union 76 gas station in Malibu while the other driver called police. Barron Hilton got out of his car and sat on a bus-stop bench, but not before bumping Tellez. Witnesses confirm that Tellez was struck in the leg.
Hilton, now 19, pled no contest to charges of California drunk driving last April and was sentenced to three years probation, fined $2000, required to work at a local morgue and had his driver’s license suspended for one year.
