Paris Skankton has been in the news twice this week and counting. She was stalked and a intruder was arrested outside her house earlier this week and now she is back in Vegas and caught a new charge.
Las Vegas – Police arrested Paris Hilton on cocaine possession charges late Friday night after stopping the car she was in on a Las Vegas street, authorities said.
The socialite was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Saturday on the cocaine charge, Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin said. She was released before dawn on her own recognizance.
The 29-year-old Hilton was in a car driven by a friend when it was stopped about 11:30 p.m. MDT Friday after officers detected what they suspected to be marijuana smoke wafting from it.
“Officers noticed a vehicle leaving smoke trail of a controlled substance and made a stop based on that,” Martin said. That is typical police talk for they smelled weed and decided to arrest somebody. A smoke trail are you kidding me , like a cheech and chong movie,
During the stop, officers found what appeared to be a drug on Hilton and later tests showed that it was cocaine, Martin said. He didn’t know how much was found.
He said Hilton was apparently recognized by passers-by and a crowd quickly gathered in the area where the vehicle had been pulled over.
Police watch commander Lt. Wayne Holman said Hilton released early Saturday morning. He didn’t know how long she had been held nor any details about a possible court date.
He said the man who was driving the car was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of drugs. But he didn’t have any other details, including his name.
I’m inclined to think that nothing of real personal value comes from this. Paris has been in trouble before and only got a slap in the hand. I guess that if you have celebrity status, life is already different for you, i.e. Armanis, Vegas grand openings, and expensive cars like Bugatti Veyron are merely toys. But public opinion is also likely to give you more chances.
