Paris Hilton Makes Deal, Avoids Jail Time
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
Although it appears Lindsay Lohan might be heading back to jail, Paris Hilton will be avoiding a second trip behind bars ... at least, for now.
According to Clark County District Attorney David Roger, the socialite has reached a plea agreement in relation to her August 27 arrest. On that evening, Las Vegas police officers pulled over a vehicle driven by boyfriend Cy Waits. Hilton was later charged with misdemeanor drug possession (because less than a gram of cocaine was found in her purse) and obstructing an officer (because she lied about owning said purse).

Paris Hilton Charged With Possession
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Looks like the “It Wasn’t My Purse” defense didn’t get her out of this one: Paris Hilton has been charged with cocaine possession.
The hotel heiress could face up to four years in prison after 0.8 grams of the illegal drug was found in her handbag when she and boyfriend Cy Waits were stopped and searched by police in Las Vegas on Friday night.
It has been claimed District Attorney David Roger - who is overseeing the case - is set to sentence the 29-year-old socialite to prison, because he “won’t tolerate celebrities” who get into trouble. “Roger won’t tolerate celebrities coming to Las Vegas and thinking they can get away with illegal behavior. It’s going to be extremely difficult for Paris to get out of these charges, even with the brilliant legal skills of her lawyer, David Chesnoff,” said a source.
She is due in court on October 27 over the felony possession of a controlled substance charge, which was filed in court by the Clark County District Attorney’s Office.
