Paris Hilton managed to avoid a second stint in jail … for now, at least. She copped a plea in her cocaine possession case today, the AP reports, pleading guilty to two misdemeanors in exchange for a sentence involving $2,000 in fines, 200 hours of community service, a drug abuse program, and one year of probation. The catch: If she gets into any trouble other than a minor traffic violation while on probation, she faces a year in jail.
