Barron Hilton, younger brother of celebutante Paris Hilton, has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanours stemming from a drunken-driving incident and will spend months taking alcohol education programs, authorities said.
Barron (18) also will lose his license for a year.
He was not in court as his attorney entered his pleas to drunken driving and possessing a false driver's license, district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.
Two other counts of driving under the influence and being an unlicensed driver at the time were dismissed, she said.
He was sentenced to three years of probation, fined about $US2000 ($NZ2533) and ordered to attend a three-month-long alcohol education program.
A call to his attorney, Richard Hutton, seeking comment was not immediately returned.
The young Hilton was arrested Feb 12 after his Mercedes-Benz was spotted weaving on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. At some point he apparently struck another vehicle and a gas pump and faces a June hearing to determine restitution, Gibbons said.
Last year Paris Hilton, the 26-year-old reality TV star and hotel heiress, pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. She served a little more than two weeks.
