  • Story Text: Authorities in Las Vegas say Paris Hilton was arrested for suspected cocaine possession late on Friday (August 27) after police stopped the car she was travelling in.
    The 29-year-old hotel heiress was in a car driven by a friend when officers reportedly spotted what they believed was marijuana smoke coming from the vehicle. A police spokesman said officers found what appeared to be a drug on Hilton and that later tests showed it was cocaine.
    This is not Hilton's first brush with the law. She was arrested this summer on suspicion of marijuana possession during the World Cup in South Africa but was subsequently released without charge.
    In June 2007 she was released from a detention centre in Lynwood, California after she served three weeks behind bars for violating probation in a drink-driving case. She was sentenced to 45 days but was released after serving just 22 because of credit for a brief time spent under house arrest and for good behaviour.
