Paris Hilton arrested on cocaine charge

Paris Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas after a police motorcycle officer smelled marijuana smoke wafting from a vehicle driven by her boyfriend, then found a small amount of cocaine in her handbag, officials said today.

A crowd quickly gathered when Hilton and Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits were stopped shortly before midnight yesterday in a black Cadillac Escalade near the Wynn Las Vegas resort, police said.
