Say you were arrested twice in one month on suspicion of drug possession. And say, just hypothetically-like, that these two drug busts happened in other parts of the world. Maybe, oh, I don’t know, South Africa and Corsica. We’ll say those two, just for kicks. And say that because of something–could be dumb luck, could be because you’re in the public eye and you’re insanely wealthy because you’re the heir to a hotel fortune–the charges are dropped and you get off scot-free. What do you do? See, if it were me, I’d thank the stars, stay home, and for the love of all that is good and holy stop carrying drugs around. But not Paris Hilton! She’s special. Yahoo! News says:
Paris Hilton was arrested late Friday after a police motorcycle officer smelled marijuana smoke wafting from a black Cadillac Escalade driven by her boyfriend [Cy Waits] on the Las Vegas Strip, then found cocaine in her purse, authorities said.
Police later found a substance in Hilton’s purse that tests showed to be cocaine, Martin said. He said it was “a small amount” of the drug, a package of the size usually associated with personal use.
Hilton was arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession.
Waits, 34, was arrested on misdemeanor suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If convicted of the low-grade felony, Hilton would get probation. Any violation of probation would be punishable by one to four years in Nevada state prison.
I guess it’s true what they say–trends really do come and go in cycles. Lindsay and Paris in jail, it’s just like 2007 again! Audioslave is totally going to reunite. Right after I vote for Sanjaya on American Idol.

Why should she care if she gets busted. She’s a rich white girl not a poor person of color so not going to face any real penalty. Plus, all this attention is exactly what the little piece of trash loves.
Make that ‘so she’s not going to face a real penalty’.
americans need to look “FRESH & FRUITY”?
well, SNORE COCAINE!!
Man, I am so hoping she gets a judge that make Judge Roy Bean look like Thurgood Marshall. This silly bitch needs to have her kneecaps clipped!
Paris Hilton is the QUEEN or the SHORT BUS!!!
How can anyone say that someone convicted of a felony *will* get probation? Got a crystal ball?
Felonies are regarded as serious by the courts. Even if Paris does get off, and she may, that guy is talking out of his ass.
“But not Paris Hilton! She’s special.”
I was going to say … YES … Special in the short bus kind of way. But, sadly, Ralphimus beat me to it …
Doesn’t she know? That’s what personal assistants are for.
