Paris Hilton Arrested On Cocaine Possession Charges

Paris Hilton Arrested for Cocaine Possession

Well she’s done it again. Celebrity bad girl, socialite, Paris Hilton has been arrested again. This time she got pinched for cocaine possession.

I don’t know what gives with these chicks. Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and their ilk seem to think that they get to play by a different set of rules. Even after spending time in jail, Paris Hilton continues to act like a child.

It’s obvious that having all of the money in the world can’t buy you common sense, decency or class.

Paris Hilton was arrested late Friday for possession of cocaine, a Las Vegas Police spokesperson confirmed.

Story continues below…

The hotel heiress was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by police on a traffic stop around 11:30 p.m. Friday in front of the Wynn Hotel and Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip, She was arrested after officers smelled what they suspected was marijuana. (see Phoenix…it’s not just Mexicans that get pulled over)

During the course of the traffic stop, police say, they conducted a search and found an undisclosed amount of cocaine in Hilton’s purse.

The driver was arrested for drug possession and through further interaction between Hilton and authorities, it was discovered she was in possession of cocaine, police say.Hilton was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Hilton was detained at the Clark County Detention Center and released at around 2:30 a.m. PT Saturday.

CBS News legal analyst Lisa Bloom says a conviction would probably mean more time behind bars for Hilton.

Celebrity Web site TMZ.com reported that Paris Hilton and her boyfriend, Cy Waits, were likely headed to Las Vegas on a private jet from Los Angeles Friday. Waits runs several nightclubs in the city.

You may recall that Paris Hilton was arrested this summer after the Brazil-Netherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing.

Hilton also pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told U.S. television host Larry King that the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted “to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.”

Yeah right, and Levi Johnstonis a serious candidate for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska too! What bullshit!

Lisa Bloom told “Early Show on Saturday Morning” co-anchor Chris Wragge she thinks Hilton is “probably” staring at more jial time if she’s convicted. “In Nevada,” Bloom explained, “the sentence for a conviction of a Schedule 2 narcotic, which is what cocaine is, is probation-to-four years if it’s a relatively small amount.

If it’s a larger amount, four grams or more, it could be up to 20 years in state prison. Assuming it’s a small amount, I don’t think she would get probation this time. … She has a prior conviction in California. We remember the reckless endangerment charge. And she violated her probation twice in California. So, if she’s convicted, I expect her to do some time on this.”

” … Nevada is a very tough law and order state, notwithstanding Las Vegas’ reputation. Judges are very tough there on drug crimes,” Bloom added.

“There’s really only two defenses to a drug possession charge, and that is, ‘The police illegally searched my car’ or ‘I didn’t do it.’ It doesn’t sound, based on the facts we know so early on now, that either of those are gonna be present here,” Bloom pointed out.

“She should be considering, obviously, her public reputation, first and foremost. She makes millions of dollars a year as model and as a spokesperson. All of that is in jeopardy from this act if she did it.”

Not only that, said Bloom, but, “Judges do not want to appear soft on a celebrity. We saw that with Lindsay Lohan going to jail, and now we’re gonna see that with Paris Hilton (if she’s convicted).”

This time she doesn’t deserve a slap on the wrist. Send her up the river on a long stretch with Big Shirley. When she’s done that kind of time we may see a very different Paris Hilton.

Until then she’ll just keep thinking that the rules don’t apply to her.
