LOS ANGELES, June 8 (Reuters) A judge ordered hotel heiress Paris Hilton into court today for a hearing on a request by prosecutors to send her back to jail after she was released early and placed under house arrest.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department released Hilton for unspecified health reasons early on Thursday and sent her home wearing an electronic ankle bracelet to track her movements while she remained confined to her Hollywood Hills house for 40 days.
Hilton, 26, had served just three full days of a 45-day sentence that the sheriff already had reduced to 23 days citing state sentencing guidelines. She was incarcerated for violating her probation on a drunken-driving case by driving on a suspended license.
Her early release drew a swift challenge.
Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo filed a motion in court with the judge in Hilton's case, Michael Sauer, seeking a court order to return her to jail to serve the remainder of her original sentence.
Delgadillo also sought a court order for the sheriff's department ''to show cause why it should not be held in contempt for violating'' the sentencing order, which expressly barred electronic monitoring.
