— The wife of the city's top prosecutor has an outstanding arrest warrant for failing to appear in court nine years ago on charges of driving without insurance, on a suspended license and in an unregistered car.

City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo got Paris Hilton jailed for violating probation for driving on a suspended license. Now, he says he's embarrassed about the outstanding bench warrant for his wife, Michelle, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The couple has also been chronically late in paying fines for at least five parking tickets in the past three years, the newspaper reported. One violation in December was not paid until the newspaper inquired about the tickets last month, by which time the $70 infraction had become, with penalties, a $174 fine.

Delgadillo has also apologized for keeping quiet about a 2004 accident in which his wife crashed his city-issued vehicle while driving on a suspended license. Delgadillo said he was reimbursing the city for the $1,222 repair.
