Paris Hilton arrested for drug possession
Paris Hilton, 29, has been arrested after officers in Las Vegas stopped the car she was travelling in and found her in possession of cocaine.
The American heiress was taken into Clark County Detention Centre this morning on the charge of drug possession.
Hilton was a passenger in a car driven by a friend when officers stopped the car. A Public Information officer said that the officers noticed what they suspected to be marijuana smoke coming from it.
During the stop, officers tested what appeared to be a controlled substance, revealing that in fact it was cocaine.
The quantity of the drug is not yet known.
This is not Hilton’s first arrest with regards to drug possession. During the World Cup in South Africa, two months ago, Hilton was arrested for marijuana possession.
