20 year-old Conrad Hughes Hilton III, a bratty member of the 1%, surrendered to the FBI Tuesday after being charged with “assaulting and interfering with a flight crew" aboard a British Airways flight from London to Los Angeles” in late July. He faces up to 20 years in prison, but will likely be given probation due to his 1% status.
The Telegraph reports a 17-page affidavit, witnesses said Conrad claimed, “I will fucking own anyone on this flight; they are fucking peasants” and complained that another passenger was giving him the “stink eye.”
He also reportedly announced, “I could get you all fired in five minutes. I know your boss. My father will pay this out. He has done it before. Dad paid $300,000 last time.” (His father is Hilton & Hyland chairman and co-founder Rick Hilton.)
Mr. Conrad also reportedly spent time in a bathroom “where the smell of cannabis began emanating,” punched the bulkhead and was so disruptive that children on the plane began to cry. Ninety minutes before the plane finally landed, he fell asleep and was handcuffed.
He is currently free on $100,000 bail, which, if his previous alleged boast about how much his father has shelled out for him is true, seems like a relative bargain. Hilton’s attorney, O.J. Simpson defender Robert Shapiro, said that the outburst “may be the effects of a sleeping pill.” Hilton admitted he’d taken a sleeping pill prior to the flight and that “I told all of them I could get all of their jobs taken away in less than 30 seconds.” |
