LAS VEGAS — Smoke wafting from a Cadillac Escalade on the Las Vegas Strip ignited Paris Hilton’s latest legal troubles late Friday, when a motorcycle officer who suspected the smell was marijuana stopped the vehicle and police say a bag of cocaine fell out of the 29-year-old socialite’s purse.
The officer “followed the vapor trail and the odor of marijuana to the Escalade,” said police Sgt. John Sheahan.
Hilton was arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession. Her boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits, 34, was arrested on misdemeanor suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Both were booked into the Clark County jail, where Martin said Hilton was released without bail about 2:45 a.m. Saturday. If convicted of the low-grade felony, Hilton would get probation.
