Could Paris Hilton be heading to the slammer…again!?
On Friday Night, Paris and her boyfriend, Cy Waits, were cruisin’ down the Las Vegas strip when cops saw what they thought was marijuana smoke coming from their black Escalade windows. According to the LVPD, after police stopped the couple to search the SUV, a small bag of cocaine fell from Paris’ purse. At that point, the socialite told an officer that the purse was not hers and that she had borrowed it from a friend. She also denied that the cocaine belonged to her, telling the officer that she thought it was gum…yes, you just read that correctly, BUBBLE GUM!
The 29-year-old heiress was booked into the Clark County Jail and charged on a count of felony cocaine possession. She was released three hours later without having to post bail. Her 34-year-old boy toy on the other hand, was arrested on a lesser charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, yet he was held overnight after posting a $2,000 bail.
Cy, who was the head of nightclub operations for the Wynn and Encore properties, was fired from the hotels. Additionally, Paris has been banned from the properties.
This obviously isn’t Paris’ first run-in with the law…the celebutante has already managed to escape marijuana charges twice this summer alone. She and a friend were caught with weed in South Africa back in July, and just weeks later, she was briefly detained in France for pot possession. And who can forget her infamous 2007 DUI jail stint?
A spokesperson for the Clark County District Attorney’s Office tells E! News that Hilton’s count carries a minimum term of one year and a maximum term of four years, as well as a $5,000 fine. However, the spokesperson adds that the court could sentence her to probation rather than jail time.
