Paris Hilton Charged With Felony Drug Possession, Recycles Time-Honored "Not My Purse" Defense
Paris Hilton was busted with 0.8 grams of cocaine in Vegas this weekend and faces a FELONY charge of possession of a controlled substance as a result.
According to the police report, the officer who stopped the Escalade pulled along the passenger side and smelled "the strong odor of marijuana" inside.
The cop wrote that he noticed immediately the passenger was Paris Hilton, and observed her trying to roll up the window as a massive crowd gathered.
Before Paris Hilton's arrest, she said she was "extremely embarrassed" and asked the officer if she could go to the bathroom at the nearby Wynn Hotel.
At the hotel, Paris told the cop she needed lip balm so he handed Paris her purse and "As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggie begin to fall from the purse and into my hand."
The report also says that inside the purse was a "tablet of Albuterol" - a medication used to control wheezing - and Zig Zag wrappers, often used for rolling joints. Paris admitted the Albuterol was hers. That cocaine in there, though?
Paris claimed the purse was not hers and that she had borrowed it from a friend. The cop questioned Paris about the cocaine and apparently, Paris gave an odd answer: "She said she had not seen it, but now thought it was gum."
Later, Paris changed her story with friends, saying it is her purse but had been in the possession of a friend. Paris claimed several cosmetic items in the purse were not hers, but she copped to $1,300 cash and some credit cards.
Paris says the cocaine was "probably her girlfriend's." Suuuure.
Hilton says one of her friends borrowed the purse and "probably" put cocaine inside. Paris says she got the bag back but never checked its contents.
Slightly different from the "It's-not-my-purse" defense used in previous arrests, but similar. "I had no idea the cocaine was there," she tells friends.
"I swear on my life."
Moreover, Paris, who's not sweating this at all, is even telling friends, "It could be a setup. Everyone knows how against cocaine I am." She also believes the cops were "star-struck and blew the whole thing way out of proportion."
We'll see if her "friend" backs up this story. Bribes go a long way ...

The folowg you are about to look your eyes uopoin are the sayings
of a Bodhisattva. emiorized and written down by a disiple Bikkhu.
"Hollywood Babylon Sin Sity girl. She sacraficed her soul for fortune and fame. And she got it for many years. Experienced the bennefits pf being a celeb and un ulimitid financial freedom. Doing whatever she wants. But everything comes to and end. The bigger you rise the harder you fall. And when tou are falling down you wakepup from teh bubble you were living in. Realizing there is no way back. The fame and paparazi will always be there. The fortune less and less. Knowing that all she has done are some photoshoots, dico-openings, tv works small movieroles and some private sexvideo's. Quit a career but she obviously can have the happy life forever.
The career is on the downfall. There is no way back. She is becoming a karikature of herself. An empty shell who has lost touch of reality. She will keep on doing the same work. Cause it's easy big money

She is praising her fans for sticking with her and supporting her. Fans??? Wantabies I think! They should send her up for the full 4 years and if she pulls a stunt like she did b4 send her to the prison hospital. How many others got sick but still had to do the time cause they did the crime! I'm just sick of hearing about Paris Hilton. I agree want has she done to get herself so celebritzed? New word!! Give her the full force of the law and this time make her do the time. She is just wasting the courts time and money!

Rich scum, has no values at all. A model for every girl in the country of what not to be like. If the media would quit putting her in the headlines, hopefully she would fade away quickly.

Who CARES????? This almost 30 something girl is just an idiot. She does nothing, contributes to nothing and her parents are proud!!! WOW... No wonder her grandfather "cut" her off. He should have totally withdrawn her funds, then she may see who would care??? To much, all the time and no brains = disaster, oh yeah we were talking about Paris Hilton!!
I absolutely refuse to stay at any Hilton Hotel so I don't contribute to her wealth in any way.
