Conrad Hilton arrested after fit on plane, accused flight crew of “taking the peasants’ side”

An enraged Hilton was restrained and handcuffed by flight attendants during a series of fits in which he accused the flight crew of “taking the peasants’ side,” according to an FBI affidavit included in a criminal complaint filed Monday.

Hilton told the co-pilot of the international flight: “If you wanna square up to me bro, then bring it on and I will … fight you,” according to the affidavit.

“We take disruptions on airplanes very seriously,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Schwab said outside court.

During the nearly 11-hour flight, witnesses heard Conrad mumbling to himself, then yelling obscenities and threatening crew members, according to the affidavit.

Hilton — grandson of famed hotel billionaire Conrad Hilton Sr. — began punching the bulkhead of the plane close to an attendant’s face, according to the affidavit. Additionally, witnesses said Hilton was apparently smoking marijuana in one of the plane’s bathrooms, the affidavit states.

Admittedly, I've not known more than a few hundred smokers over the years, but none of them ever displayed or mentioned becoming paranoid as a result. I suppose if there are such, it could be a magnification of an existing character trait, and I just didn't hang around with people prone to violence. As well, the only time I saw anyone on a drug trip become paranoid was with a person on LSD, and while he was incredibly paranoid for around 12 hours, he was far from any sort of violence, but rather more fearful of indulging in self-hurt or being caught while on drugs.

It has some different info included.

Obligatory teaser snippet:

The crew believed he was under the influence of drugs because he was behaving in an erratic way and spoke quickly, saying “If you wanna square up to me bro, then bring it on and I will [expletive] fight you,” according to the complaint.

He allegedly threatened to kill flight crew members, saying he would own anyone on the flight. He allegedly threw a fist toward a flight attendant.

He reportedly grabbed a flight attendant’s shirt and 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.

Crew members held two safety briefings to discuss the possibility of restraining Hilton.

Then, while he was sleeping, they restrained him.

If they really want to give him the 'drugs' excuse for his crappy behaviour, and pretend it wasn't just privilege talking.

Never worked for a dime in his life.

"My dad will pay for this, and I can get you all fired."

What a slimeball.

He's looking old for his age. The drugs get you eventually.

Paris Hilton's younger brother Conrad Hilton was just arrested in L.A. for allegedly going insane on an international flight back in July ... and getting violent with flight attendants ... TMZ has learned.

According to officials, multiple witnesses on the plane say the 20-year-old went berserk on a flight from London to L.A. ... and began screaming and threatening flight attendants.

According to witnesses, Conrad was heard yelling the following things during his meltdown:

-- "If you wanna square up to me bro, then bring it and I will f*cking fight you."
-- "I am going to f*cking kill you."
-- "I will f*cking rip through you."
-- "I will f*cking own anyone on this flight; they are f*cking peasants."

The gauntness, the bags under his eyes and on his cheekbones... Coke or meth. Fits his violent behaviour too.

His lawyer Robert Shapiro told TMZ that the sleeping pill caused Hilton to not be himself. Shapiro also noted there are numerous reports of people experiencing adverse side effects, including aggressive outbursts, after taking sleeping aids.
