"We can confirm that Barron Hilton was arrested under the suspicion of driving under the influence at 8:04 a.m.," Los Angeles County Sheriff Spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells Usmagazine.com.
Barrron, 18, "will be released when it is safe to proceed, either by getting a ride or when he is able to drive himself," Whitmore said.
The Sheriff’s Web site says the charge is a misdemeanor and bail has been set at $5,000.
Barron was driving with a passenger in a black Mercedes on the Pacific Coast Highway when he was pulled over.
TMZ.com first reported the news.
His sister, Paris, was arrested for DUI in 2006. She later entered a plea of no contest to a lesser charge of reckless driving.
