Paris Hilton is at least regular since she has another substance bust

Paris Hilton is doing what she does best again, and is all over the headlines for it. She’s been arrested for drugs, once more. The concept of what the word illegal, as in illegal substances, means has apparently escaped her. She was arrested for possession of cocaine in Las Vegas. This makes the 3rd time she has been arrested for illegal drugs within the past year, having been twice arrested for possessing marijuana.

The weed smoking passenger, Paris Hilton

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. He began to search her for illegal substances. She asked the officer if she could get some lip balm from her purse. At that point, a baggie containing a small amount of cocaine allegedly fell out of her handbag. That wasn’t the only thing. There were also wrapping papers in the bag. The police arrested Hilton, and that’s when the Paris Hilton cocaine story began circulating.

These charges are not flippant crimes

There were approximately .8 ounces of cocaine in the bag. 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 perhaps a one armed man. Within hours, her Twitter page was alight with support from her followers. However, the charge may be contested. It is believed the search may have not been proper. If convicted, she stands to serve up to 15 years and up to $500,000 in fines.

It’s not mine is a common line

The socialite and heiress is no stranger to being arrested for harmful drugs. It’s her third in as numerous months. She was arrested in South Africa following the 2010 World Cup and later in Corsica for possessing marijuana. Both times she was released. Nevertheless, the fact that she keeps getting busted for illegal drugs counts against her. A judge is more likely to throw the book at her if she appears to have a history of illegal substance use.
