Paris Hilton's younger brother Conrad has appeared in court after allegedly becoming enraged on a British Airways flight from London to Los Angeles, calling passengers "peasants" and making children cry.


Hilton, 20, had his hands and feet in shackles as he was brought into court in Los Angeles where he was charged with interfering with a flight crew, an offence which can carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. He did not enter a plea and was released on $100,000 (£65,000) bail.


The case related to BA Flight 269 which took off from Heathrow on July 31 last year but details only emerged as Hilton was charged.


According to a 17-page affidavit from an FBI agent, Hilton became unruly soon after the plane took off, pacing the aisle and complaining that another passenger was giving him a "stink eye."


Witnesses said he was in a rage for much of the 11-hour flight, at one point yelling: "I will f****** own anyone on this flight. They are f****** peasants."


He also allegedly shouted: “If you wanna square up to me bro, then bring it on and I will f****** fight you."

At one point he went to a toilet from where the smell of cannabis began emanating, it was alleged. After being confronted by the co-pilot, he was said to have run to another toilet where he began smoking a cigarette.


Hilton also allegedly began punching the bulkhead inches from a flight attendant's face, and threatened to kill several flight attendants and a co-pilot or have them sacked form their jobs.


He allegedly said: "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 businessman Rick Hilton, who is the grandson of the Hilton Hotels chain founder, who was also called Conrad Hilton.


According to the BA co-pilot. Hilton seemed uncoordinated, delusional and paranoid.


He eventually fell asleep and was handcuffed to his seat for the final 90 minutes of flight.


An FBI agent who met him at the airport in Los Angeles said Hilton had admitted calling other passengers "peasants".

Speaking outside court Hilton's lawyer Robert Shapiro, who also defended OJ Simpson, said: "It may be the effects of a sleeping pill."


Hilton family sources told TMZ he had checked into a 30-day drug and alcohol rehabilitation course shortly after the flight.

I'm surprised they didn't land the flight with him being that unruly. That said, he's going to get a slap on the wrist and walk. The rich are different from the rest of us.

When the zombie apocalypse comes, these people are going to be the first ones offered up.

What book was it where the guards of a compound in the Hamptons just opened the gates and peaced out when shit went down? The Passage? It was satisfying to read.

LOL!

I know, from experience unfortunately, that mixing certain drugs (think like antianxiety drugs or prescription painkillers) with alcohol can produce crazy irrational rage episodes in people who are not inherently assholes. (not that I did it.  But I got to witness the horrifying result)  An actual asshole starts taking godknowswhat, and yeah - this is what you get.  I'd bet anything he was on something he's not supposed to be, in combo with several preflight cocktails.
