Should Paris Hilton be arrested for disturbing the peace?
What do you think? Is Paris enough of a drain on the police department that they should do something about it? Or is it wrong to arrest people just for being loud and irritating in their own home?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

On the other hand, the article does mention that there is "fighting" outside the house, which may cross the line. But I can't imagine that it's actually PARIS doing the fighting as opposed to drunk idiots she invites over. Which, again, sucks but should not be against the law.

Most city ordinances prohibit sound above a threshold intensity from trespassing over property line at night, typically between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and during the day restricts it to a higher sound level however, enforcement is uneven. Many municipalities do not follow up on complaints. Even where a municipality has an enforcement office, it may only be willing to issue warnings, since taking offenders to court is expensive.
The notable exception to this rule is the City of Portland Oregon which has instituted an aggressive protection for its citizens with fines reaching as high at $5000 per infraction, with the ability to cite a responsible noise violator multiple times in a single day

I don't think she should be arrested for disturbing the peace, because I'm sure it's not just her causing the noise. Probably her Hollywood friends that drank too much. If after several warnings things don't get better, maybe the neighbors should petition to have Paris move out of their neighborhood. Some hefty fines might help also.
