Nicole Richie served her time and is now a free woman… all in a matter of an afternoon!

According to TMZ, Nicole turned herself in to the Lynwood jail around 3:15 this afternoon, was booked, went into a cell for just over an hour, and was then released. 

The jail is severely overcrowded, so Nicole didn’t get any special treatment…  She also didn’t act like a bumbling crying fool like Paris…

This was a smart move on the part of her attorney… since all eyes were on Lindsay’s case today, she managed to get in and out without too much attention.
