"I Thought The Cocaine Was Chewing Gum" - Paris Hilton

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

Las Vegas prosecutors, yesterday,
didn't believe Hilton, 29, when
she explained, "I thought the
cocaine was chewing gum" defense.
The charge is felony drug possession.

The situation came about when the
hotel heiress and her boyfriend,
Cy Walls-34, were driving down Las
Vegas Boulevard late Friday.

A motorcycle police officer stopped
them after smelling marijuana fumes
coming from their Cadillac, Clark
County prosecutors.

A crowd gathered around. Officers
allowed Hilton inside The Wynn Hotel,
Vegas Police Lt. Dennis Flynn. "Hilton
said she needed to put some lip balm on,
and I handed her the purse from the table,"
Flynn wrote. "As she began to open it. I
saw a small bindle of what I believed to
be cocaine in a clear baggy to fall from
the purse and into my hand." Police stated
that they found cocaine in Hilton's purse,
but she denied owning the drugs or purse per
court papers.

Cash, credit cards, an Albuterol tablet and
Zig-Zag rolling papers, Hilton said belonged
to her.

"I asked Hilton whose cocaine it was, and she
said she had not seen it but now thought it
was gum," Flynn wrote.

David Chesnoff, Hilton's lawyer, declined to
comment on the case yesterday.
