Yesterday we learned that Paris Hilton‘s lawyers managed to secure a plea bargain deal with the Las Vegas District Attorney’s Office so that the felony cocaine possession charges brought against her could be lessened to misdemeanor counts and so that she could be kept out of jail. Just moments ago, Hilton appeared before a judge in Las Vegas to plead guilty to her charges and was sentenced to 6 months in jail which was WAIVED so long as she can get thru the next 12 months without getting arrested. Here are a few screencaps from Paris‘s court hearing just moments ago and deets of what went down:

Paris Hilton just agreed to a plea deal in her cocaine arrest case that will keep from doing any jail time … if she stays out of trouble. Paris pled guilty to drug possession and obstructing an officer (both misdemeanors) and got a year of probation and also must complete an “intensive” substance abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service. If she is arrested for anything other than a minor traffic violation, it would be considered a violation of her probation. The judge warned Hilton she must changed her behavior and if she violates the terms of her probation, she will serve the one year at Clark County Detention Center. The judge told Hilton, “The Clark County Detention Center is not the Waldorf Astoria.” Hilton was busted back on August 27 after cops found her in possession of less than a gram of cocaine.

Additionally, Paris has reportedly been telling her friends that she is planning to stay away from the club scene in the coming year so that she will be sure to stay out of trubs and out of jail:

Paris Hilton is telling close friends she’s “over being a party girl” … and wants to “trade in the club scene for a life at home” …. seriously. Paris — who’s scheduled to appear in a Las Vegas courtroom this morning to cop a plea in her drug possession case — is telling friends, “I’m taking this whole ordeal as a wake up call.” Hilton has also said that she’s using this experience to “finally grow up and become a responsible adult” … and wants to spend time volunteering at animal shelters and focusing on her business empire.

And there you have it … Paris Hilton, socialite supreme, has managed to avoid serving jailtime for possession of cocaine … a feat that is not usually accomplished by other, less famous people. Will she be able to stay completely out of trouble for the next 12 months in order to stay out of jail? In all honesty, I can’t wait to find out. Celebrity justice in action, y’all … are you impressed?
