Paris Hilton Arrested for Felony Cocaine Possession

LAS VEGAS – Paris Hilton's latest run-in with the law began when a motorcycle officer got a whiff of suspicious smoke emanating from a Cadillac on the Las Vegas Strip. Suspecting the odor was marijuana, the officer stopped the car at 11:22 p.m. Friday and during a check police say a bag of cocaine fell out of the 29-year-old socialite's purse.

It's the second time this year Hilton has been arrested on drug possession allegations, although authorities in South Africa dropped marijuana charges earlier this summer. In 2007, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail.

This time, the hotel heiress was with her boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits, who manages a club inside the Wynn Las Vegas and was driving the black SUV.

Hilton was not taken to a cell and received no special treatment on a busy Friday night and Saturday morning at the jail. He said release without bail was common in such cases.

Release without bail is common in felony cocaine possession cases? Really? [expletive]. 

After spending 23 (of 45) days in jail for drunk driving, she told Larry King that she said had reevaluated her "partying lifestyle" and proclaimed that she wanted "to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis."

Awesome.
