Clark County, Nev., prosecutors have filed a felony charge against Paris Hilton in connection to her arrest in Las Vegas early Saturday morning on suspicion of cocaine possession, CNN reports. She will be arraigned on Oct. 27.
On Friday night, the 29-year-old socialite-heiress was a passenger in a black Cadillac Escalade, which was pulled over when an officer noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The driver, Hilton’s boyfriend Cy Waits, allegedly said he was the one smoking marijuana and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs. While police searched the vehicle for drugs, Hilton was escorted by a police lieutenant to a nearby hotel to use the restroom and shield her from the crowd that was gathering at the scene. It was there that police discovered a plastic bag of cocaine in her purse. Hilton said the cocaine and the purse were not hers and that she thought the plastic bag was gum. She did, however, claim ownership of other contents in the purse, including a broken tablet of Albuterol (commonly used to treat asthma), $,1300 in cash, and credit cards in her name.
Hilton’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, released the following statement: “This matter will be dealt with in the courts, not in the media, and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law.”

If she really thinks that, she has a great future as a politician in Australia – she would be smarter than the lot of them!
Nah, USA is where she belongs – a ho among hoes.
She has lawyers that know she does coke and smokes weed, they have told her what to say in case she is pulled over, come on people money buys your freedom and no life has always been unfair to the unfortunate welcome to a media driven America full of politicians and celebrities that are not like the normal population in all reality, it sucks but thats America the Brutal.
Easy enough, give her a drug test. She fails – she gets the max.
She thought cocaine was gum?!? How flippin stupid can you get? All she’s gonna get is a slap on the wrist. Where the he11 are her parents? She continues to do them proud. I don’t care how old she thinks she is, she’s a stupid, ignorant, arrogant, conceited b1tch.
What exactly are you fed up with? She hasn’t done anything to you, and she hasn’t hurt anyone but herself. Maybe she’s fed up with poor, old, bitter, jealous, right-wingers always judging.
Yeah, you’re not judgmental at all.
And what makes you think the guy is a right winger, because she annoys him? If that was the case, 90% of the country would be right wing. No one can stand this airhead. Except you of course, maybe you’re a coke head too and think it’s “judging” because you understand her issue?
you 29 year old kidz get off my lawn! where the he11 are your parents? back in my day we….zzzzzzz
Hilarious. Oh wait, no it’s not. You think think this guy is a grumpy old man, I’d say there are more people who agree with him that Paris is an idiot.
It’s true, I think my cocaine is gum all the time, and last night I ate my lawnmower because I thought it was a souffle. Reasonable mistake by a thoughtful young lady.
What kind of gum comes in powder form??
and packaged in a baggie?
Big League Chew
I seriously hope the officer asked her to go ahead and chew some of that gum.
Big League Blow.
Paris, Paris, Paris what are we going to do with you, you silly little girl? You really stepped in it this time.
It’s a felony this time. That means prison time, not just a couple of days in jail. It also means your jet-setting days are over because all the best places refuse entry to people like you with drug related felonies.
Well, here’s to ya kiddo. You sure had a good time while it lasted. See you in the funny papers.
See you in the funny papers? Is that an attempt at humor? And yeah, I bet all the best places refuse Robert Downey Jr. don’t they? He’s had drug-related felonies. You are seriously dumb.
Obviously you missed his story about being held at a Japanese airport prior to the premiere of “Iron Man.” Persons with felony charges are, on paper, prohibited from most international travel, but can seek special dispensation from the government of the country they are trying to enter. My favourite example of this is how the Canadian government initially denied entry to Martha Stewart for a home and garden show after her conviction for insider trading.
Whoa, his felony inconvenienced him once. You Brits are always there with the really pertinent information.
You aren’t really comparing a super talented Oscar winning actor to Paris Hilton are you?
Rover, Downey’s felony conviction resulted in jail time and helped him kicked drugs. I’m sure he accepts a little inconvience.
love it! that is funny.
I could see how that could get confusing, Paris. :/
Try new Trident! Now in an inconvenient powder form to spill on your clothes, in our stylish new zip-lock baggie! Available only in dark alleys and nightclub bathrooms.
She doesn’t look for drugs in back alleys. She’s a rich white girl, not some nagger crack-hoar.
I’ve become so cynical about these untalented fools, that I believe this was all intentional so her name will be in the news.
A felony to get in the news? Right. Or maybe she just got caught with cocaine moron.
Man, you have an attitude. Do you have some sort of affinity for Paris or what? Sheesh. Get over it. Everybody has an opinion.
Everybody does have an opinion, including me, so get over it. And who says “sheesh”?
Tab- a bitter cynic who CARES DEEPLY about the talent level of former reality tv and sex tape stars. Try to hold on Tab, it’ll be a brighter day soon.
Can we please stop giving these “famous” privileged *ssholes special treatment?
what special treatment is she getting right now? they’re charging her with a felony.
Poor little rich baby. Thought coke was gum. Going to take a lot of $ to buy her way out of this one!
How in the HELL could she mistake Coke for Gum lets get serious P L E A S E!!!!
For the same reason that the purse is not hers but everything in it (besides the coke) is hers. She is LYING.
Please, dear god, can this woman just go away? If I never hear another single word about Paris Hilton or the Kardashian sisters, I still will be sick to death of the lot of them. For my sanity, please just lock her up and throw away the keys.
Now, this is a celebrity whore that probably will go to a treatment facility for her addiction. No jail time! Her papa’s money will buy her freedom for spending even 1 day in jail, must be nice. p.s. I too wish she’d just “poof” disappear! LOL
That’s stupid. this is like the 3rd time she’s put on trial for posession.
