Paris Hilton Will Face Felony Drug Charges

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 30th 2010 01:41PM

Paris Hilton will be charged with felony drug possession after allegedly being caught with .8 grams of cocaine this weekend, TMZ reports via court documents. The DA is reportedly set to file the case Monday.

Hilton, 29, was arrested in Las Vegas for possession of a controlled substance on Friday night. Police pulled over a car driven by her boyfriend, nightclub owner Cy Waits, after detecting marijuana coming from the vehicle. When a small container of cocaine was discovered in Hilton's purse, she was briefly detained at Clark County Detention Center before being released on bail.

When questioned about the cocaine, Hilton "said she had not seen it, but now thought it was gum," an officer said. At various points, Hilton also said the purse was not hers, then that it was hers but had been in a friend's possession.

The police report by Lieutenant D. Flynn reads:

Due to the fact that the suspected cocaine fell from the purse Hilton was carrying, that the suspect cocaine was found near a broken prescription pill that Hilton admitted was hers, that she admitted that other items inside the purse were hers (including a package of Zig Zag wrappers, which are commonly used to roll and smoke marijuana), and that she was the passenger inside the vehicle, which was stopped after Officer M. Polion smelled the strong odor of marijuana coming from it, I placed Hilton under arrest for possession of a controlled substance cocaine.

RadarOnline.com is reporting the Las Vegas District Attorny, David Roger, is unlikely to work out a plea deal in Hilton's case.

"Roger won't tolerate celebrities coming to Las Vegas and thinking they can get away with illegal behavior," a source close to the case told RadarOnline.com. "It's going to be extremely difficult for Paris to get out of these charges, even with the brilliant legal skills of her lawyer David Chesnoff."

The DA is running for reelection and has a solid record victories in Vegas. "This is a high profile case, right before a very important election, and it's very likely that there will be no plea bargaining down of these charges," the source reiterated.

Hilton was also detained and subsequently released in South Africa in July on suspicion of possession of marijuana.

By Bob

Wht a loser she is. the pig is going to spend some time behind bars and should be fined in the 7 figure mark to make it worthwhile. maybe then she'll wise up.

By metrorun3

Send this trashy B'ch off to prison just like everyone else. I am beginning to believe that Lohan is a saint.

By jbigmacdaddy74

She will get 6 months probation if that.There isnt fair and equal justice in America the rich or famous get treated better.

By JRWolfe

She confused cocaine with gum ??? Heard that coke was a powder. That said,this is Nevada,not California. So she will probably NOT spend Lindsay Lohan type time in prison.

By jrwolfestr

She confused cocaine with gum ? Last i heard,coke was a powder. Since this happened in Nevada and not California,she will spend time.

I am not surprised this skank threw her FRIEND under the bus by saying her purse in a FRIENDS possession.I would dump her if she was my so called friend.

By jean

Thanks to party air heads like Hilton and Lohan we have drug cartels trying to move product into the US from Mexico and murdering anyone in sight to do it. Maybe if she realized how much blood was shed so she could snort and party all night, she might have a different view of "recreational drugs".

By James

Congrats, Jean, you are now officially dumber than Paris herself.

By Donna

Nope it will not faze her at all. She dont care. If she wants her drugs she will have them.

By Kim

She isn't intelligent enough to figure out what happens with the drugs and the border.

By Anna

James:

What's dumb about that? Demand is what drives the smuggling and supply of drugs in this country. No demand=no drug cartels. Some of us choose to not feed the beast by using illegal drugs, ever. Is that dumb? You may think so, but some people have principles and act on them.

By tony

i bet 100 bucks she wont see jail.

and i mean do any time.
