Nicole Richie was “pleasantly surprised” to be released after serving 82 minutes of her four-day jail sentence for a second DUI conviction, her lawyer said Friday.
“Nicole was aware that most people with sentences similar to hers are booked and released in a matter of hours and she was hoping to be treated like everyone else,” attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said in a statement. “Nevertheless, she was prepared to serve her entire four-day sentence had the Sheriff’s Department required her to do so.”
On Thursday, accompanied by her boyfriend Joel Madden as well as Holley, the five-months pregnant Richie entered the jail in Lynwood, Calif., at 3:15 p.m. She was processed into the system and released at 4:37 p.m.
“Of course, she was pleasantly surprised to be released so quickly,” said Holley.
