Paris Hilton has been charged with felony cocaine possession following her arrest in Las Vegas last weekend.
The 29-year-old heiress’ purse contained .8 grams of cocaine, cigarette wrappers commonly used for smoking marijuana, and a broken tablet of Albuterol when she was searched after a traffic stop, according to a police report.
The drug charge carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison if convicted.
Police pulled over the car in which she was riding on Las Vegas’ famed Strip when an officer smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. The arrest report says Hilton was taken into the nearby Wynn Las Vegas hotel “at her request,” where she was placed in a holding room and took lip balm from her purse.
“As she began to open [the purse], I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggy begin to fall from the purse and into my hand,” the arresting officer reported.
Zig Zag cigarette wrappers were also found in her purse along with Albuterol, a drug commonly used for people who have breathing problems. Hilton claimed she had a prescription for it.
Hilton’s boyfriend, Cy Waits, a Las Vegas nightclub executive, was also arrested in the traffic stop.
Paris’ explanation for the little white baggy that popped out of her purse?
“She had not seen it, but now thought it was gum,” said an officer’s report.
