Paris Hilton Arrested in Vegas on Cocaine Charges

By Christine Fenno Posted Aug 28th 2010 08:05AM

Luck wasn't on Paris Hilton's side this weekend in Sin City, when Las Vegas police pulled over the car she was in just before midnight and allegedly found a white powder in her purse that, upon testing, proved to be cocaine. The celebutante was then arrested on suspicion of possessing cocaine, and booked into the Clark County detention center, according to ABC News. She was soon released on bail.

The socialite, 29, was in the passenger seat of a car driven by a male thought to be her boyfriend, nightclub owner Cy Waits. Why was Hilton pulled over near the Wynn Hotel and Casino in the first place? Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin told the Associated Press cops thought they smelled marijuana coming from the car: "Officers noticed a vehicle leaving a smoke trail of a controlled substance [and] made a stop based on that." He added that a crowd gathered to witness the police stop after Hilton was recognized by passers-by.

According to TMZ, Hilton has hired "powerful Vegas lawyer" David Chesnoff (whose past clients include Suge Knight and Vince Neil) to handle her case. And despite the fact that Hilton was the only woman in the vehicle when authorities pulled it over, she is reportedly insisting that the purse wasn't hers.

Hilton's had a busy summer on both sides of the law. Just days ago, cops came to her Los Angeles residence to arrest a knife-weilding intruder on her property, who was allegedly attempting to break into her home. During the World Cup in July, she was questioned by police in South Africa on suspicion of marijuana charges, but soon released.

Earlier this month, she unveiled the Paris Hilton Shoe Collection at a convention center in Las Vegas.

You love her so much you spend time to write about her! LOL

Paris Hilton is just another Hollywood type, who thinks the law doesn't apply to her. She is used to buying her way out of trouble, anyplace she goes in the world. Wouldn't it be nice if some Judge in Nevada grew a pair of those specialized body parts and rewarded Hilton with some serious jail time. Wouldn't it be even nicer, if she had to serve all the time and was not released early because of alleged jail overcrowding? That is what it will take to get her attention.

That is just plain nasty of you. Get a life!

Nice. Daddy will keep her out of jail and the hotel room will increase in price. The government should when these rich people do this they should take away all their money and give it to people who are law abiding citizen and not some skank who keeps getting in trouble and buying their way out. But I guess the judges and courts are run by corprut people who take bribes. Love this country?

"Horseface"?????????? hahahaha Your jealousy over runneth your cup. hahahah Paris is one sexy mama and guys (or if you're a "ho")just can't stand the fact that these young ladies "have it" and you DON'T. hahaha Get a life LOSER.

The police smelled marihjuana smoke WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IN HER CAR? Sounds like an unfounded illegal syop by the police. This case should be thrown out due to the cops violating the law by pulling her over on a fishing hunt.

By Karri

Alleged jail overcrowding????? Yes, they should serve more of their sentences, but so should everyone else. Jail overcrowding is real. And Paris doesn't need her "Daddy's" money. She is a millionaire in her own right, with money she has earned.

By WTF2

@ruben, all this biotch has is her daddy's money that keeps buying her out of the trouble the skanky 'ho gets herself into. She is nothing but trash and it's time for her to do the time for her crimes. NO MORE SPECIAL PRIVILEGES for the rich and famous.

By themeeker

WTF2, Paris coasts on her own money these days, but she's still and ignorant dimwit and a major skank.

By Ray

Paris again thinks she is above the law! Folks have done and are doing serious time in jail for lessor felonies. Let's see what the law does with her this time, since that recent run in with the law.

By MARIAH

Oh gosh! What a surprise.
Is this just another matress queen headed for a three day rest at camp cupcake? OH WAIT....maybe not.
This is not Hollywood. This is Vegas and they even got OJ.

I hope they kick her moron arzz.

I'm so tired of hearing about this white trash, all you hear in the news now day is white trash and their drugs!

By Robin

I wonder if she goes to jail for this, if they will keep her as long as they would for any other person sent to jail for the same offense.

By talo821

She is already out before sun up and everyone else is still waiting for a judge to even get there to set bail... any other questions?

Or better yet get rid of stupid drug laws and let people do what they want.The war on drugs is a joke

By tfcrow

The District attorney will be seeking the maximum sentence for hilton. She could spend up to 8 seconds in jail.

By Tigerlily

8 seconds in jail...LOL, you're too funny. I just want to know what the heck is going on with our system? These people don't need jail (and you're right it will be a joke if she gets any time) they need long term REHAB.

By eddiehnry

that's funny....lol

By t

very funny, TigarLily, even if they go to rehab, it is just a quick slap and they are back to their old tricks.
