Paris thought cocaine was chewing gum

By Alexandra Heilbron on August 31, 2010 | 11 Comments


Paris Hilton, 29, was arrested last Friday when “cocaine in a clear baggy” was found in her purse after Las Vegas police stopped the car she was in. She allegedly told police the purse wasn’t hers, but that she’d borrowed it from a friend, and when asked about the cocaine, she told police “she had not seen it but now thought it was gum.” Under Nevada law, cocaine possession is a felony and Hilton could be sentenced to up to four years in prison. Also inside the purse, police found $1300 cash, credit cards, a “broken tablet of Albuterol” and Zig Zag wrappers, commonly used to roll marijuana joints. Hilton admitted these items belonged to her. Albuterol is a medicine prescribed for asthma, but because it’s also a stimulant, it’s used by some people to lose fat. Hilton’s friends told TMZ that she’s now claiming the purse was hers after all, but had been borrowed by a friend, who must have put the cocaine in it. They also told the gossip site that Paris said “she’s not worried about [the cocaine bust].”

    Ahahahahaha, yes, now chewing gum comes in a plastic baggy in powder form!!! What a stupid stupid girl

    Man, she’s getting even more stupid with age. At 29, you’d think she’d have more sense. It’s notlike the cops are going to say ” well miss Hilton, since you claim the drugs are not yours, we’ll believe you, you’re off the hook young lady. Now can you tell us who the drugs belong to so we can go an arrest that person?” LOL, drug possession doesn’t mean you have to own it stupid, it’s in your possession, that’s all that matters.

    I hope she gets ten years for this, I can’t stand the bitch. She does nothing exept stand around acting like an air head, and she can’t act if her life depended on it. Im sick of her being around, Hollywood needs to make people with “real” talent famous. I hope after this bust, Paris won’t go free, she doesn’t deserve it. They should lock her up and throw away the kew, I just want her to disappear, and lot’s of people would agree with me on this. We are all sick and tired of your ugly bird nosed face Paris! Just go away!! Bitch!

    lol Germain, they might as well say that, because the judge will do pretty much nothing to her anyway!
    Ally, I couldn’t agree more, she’s famous for…well I guess for being born into the Hilton family?

    wow seriously that is the worst excuse i have ever heard that only Paris could come up with! Man lock her up so we dont get stupid reading this sh*t.

    To Paris’ defence she probably did think it was chewing gum…HAHAHAHA

  9. Mel:) • September 1, 2010 @ 12:44 PM

    Ally on August 31, 2010 3:00 PM you REALLY NEVER have anything nice to say about ANYONE do you? wow.

    i dont like paris, i havent ever liked her. i have only saw her in house of wax or whatever it was called, and she died. i hope she gets at least a year of prison time, someone needs to make this girl straighten her life out. with how often her story is changing about the purse, theres no way a judge isnt going to believe the cocaine was hers. if people didnt think paris was a good actress or whatever she is, she wouldnt even have a job. people dont watch what they dont like, so in her defense, she does have some fan base somewhere. im definitely not included in it, but i dont hate her and wish her ill fortune.

    She kinda looks like Cruella DeVille in that pic, no? lol
    I also am no fan of hers and I do hope she gets more jail time. Something needs to straighten these celebs out.
