Paris Hilton Arrested In Vegas On Cocaine Charge

Paris Hilton was arrested Friday night (August 27) for possession of cocaine in Las Vegas.

The 29-year-old heiress was busted during a traffic stop by a Las Vegas Metro officer in front of the Wynn Hotel and Casino on the Vegas strip.

According to CBS News, the police searched the vehicle and found cocaine in Paris‘ purse.

Paris was taken to the Clark County Detention Center where she was charged with possession of an illegal substance and was released around 2:30am PT on Saturday.

This is reportedly the third recent run in with authorities. In July, Paris was mistakenly detained in South Africa for marijuana and then again in the French island of Corsica.
