Third drug arrest for Paris Hilton

There are some individuals that follow Paris Hilton news. Apparently, the socialite and heiress extraordinaire can’t not break the law. It seems that a quiet night at home is impossible for her; she has been arrested yet once again. Evidently, she can learn to get a cab, however not to leave her illegal drugs at home. She was found by las Vegas PD to be possessing cocaine. This makes the 3rd time she has been arrested for harmful drugs in the past year, having been twice arrested for possessing marijuana.

It’s really no lawful joke for Paris Hilton to toke

According to the New York Post, Paris Hilton’s boyfriend was pulled over by a Las Vegas police officer, and the SUV she was riding in smelled of pot smoke. As she was being searched, she asked the officer if she could retrieve some lip balm from her purse. That is when the plot thickened. A baggie containing what seemed to be cocaine fell from her bag. That was not the only thing. There were also wrapping papers in the bag. She was arrested, and also the Paris Hilton cocaine saga started after two separate Paris Hilton marijuana arrest incidents.

These aren’t flippant charges

The baggie contained about .8 grams of cocaine. This won’t just mean a fine. Hilton is charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. The Cheech to her Chong, Harold to her Kumar, or Cy Waits only was booked on a misdemeanor charge of DUI. Hilton of course, denies the baggie was hers. She says she had lent her bag to a friend of hers, or maybe a one armed man. Within hours, her Twitter page was alight with support from her followers. Hilton is also saying the search was improper, and she is expected to contest it at her trial. Hilton could possibly be looking at a 15 year sentence and $500,000 in fines at the maximum.

A quiet night in is just impossible

This is drug arrest number three for her. She was arrested twice in July for possessing marijuana, in South Africa during the 2010 World Cup, and days later in Corsica for the same crime. Nevertheless, there is something that should be said in fairness. On both occasions, she was let go. Though it may be feasible that someone else is responsible for said contraband, a noted history of association with illegal substances will not bode well for her should she be convicted.
