Paris Hilton was arrested for cocaine possession on Friday while driving in Las Vegas. An officer stopped her and her boyfriend after he noticed marijuana smoke coming from their Escalade. A source says, “Paris says she changed the purse she was carrying at the last minute because the one she had didn’t coordinate with the rest of her outfit the way she wanted. She says she borrowed a friend’s purse because it matched better.”
Vegas police Sgt. John Sheahan says, "Miss Hilton pulled out a tube of lip balm. At the same time ... a bindle of cocaine in a plastic bag came out of her purse."
A source tells the Sun, "This purse in question was a high street brand - and by no means up to her high fashion standards. Paris is hoping authorities will see sense and let her off the hook."
Paris claims she was illegally searched. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Cops discovered the cocaine inside the security offices where Paris was taken. Because Paris was taken away from the scene where the car was pulled over, this could potentially be an illegal search of a person. Las Vegas Metro didn’t follow standard procedures when Paris was arrested and her lawyer will be talking to the District Attorney about this.”
A Vegas insider tells the Sun that Paris is worried she may go to jail. "This is a terrifying situation for Paris. She's scared stiff about what might happen. Her greatest fear is that authorities will make an example of her because she's famous. The idea of going back to prison sends a shiver down Paris's spine."
Paris' boyfriend, Cy Waits, has been fired from his job as head of nightclub operations at the Wynn and Encore hotels. He had just been promoted last Wednesday. A source says, "Steve Wynn has a zero-tolerance policy with their club execs when it comes to brushes with the law."
