The Las Vegas Police have filed an indictment against socialite, Paris Hilton, charging her with cocaine possession. Hilton was arrested Friday, August 28, 2010, after a routine traffic stop in front of the Wynn Hotel, in Las Vegas, led to cocaine falling out of her purse. The driver of the vehicle, her boyfriend, Cy Waits, tested positive for cocaine.

Hilton initially told police the purse does not belong to her. As mentioned previously, she did the same thing in South Africa, during the 2010 World Cup, when she was arrested for marijuana possession. However, Hilton has changed her story this week to state the purse is hers, as  she had supposedly loaned it to a friend, diverging from the statement she gave police last Friday. This ever-changing story has damaged her already tattered credibility.

Hilton's lawyer, David Chernoff, has asked the public and press not to rush to judgment, which is a tall order, considering there are a number of photos online of his client doing drugs or being photographed with illegal substances (cocaine). Hilton faces 1-4 years in prison and a fine. After Hilton was released from jail, her boyfriend, was not, as the story was, Cy Waits in jail. He later made bail.
