Paris Hilton has been charged with felony cocaine possession following her weekend arrest in Las Vegas. If convicted, the heiress, 29, faces up to four years behind bars.
According to the police report, the officer who stopped Hilton and her pals on the famed Las Vegas Strip Friday night smelled "the strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle."

Upon being stopped, Hilton tried to roll up the window.
As a crowd of 100 people began to gather around, Hilton said she was "extremely embarrassed" and asked if she could go to the bathroom at a nearby hotel, the report states.
There, she asked to put on lip balm. As she began to open her purse, the officer writes, "I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggie begin to fall from the purse and into my hand."
The purse also contained cigarette wrappers commonly used for marijuana and a broken tablet of Albuterol.
Hilton admitted the Albuterol belonged to her -- as well as the $1,300 in cash in the purse -- but denied that the cocaine -- .8 grams, to be exact -- and the purse were hers.
When the officer asked her about the cocaine, Hilton "said she had not seen it, but now thought it was gum," according to the report.
On Saturday, Hilton's attorney said the "matter will be dealt with in the courts, not in the media, and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law."

Hilton returned to Twitter late Sunday, telling fans: "I'm so thankful to all my fans for all the love and support you are giving me."
Tell Us What You Think
145Ha ha i always thought paris was in more than one way 'slow' but this just proves it! White powder in a dime bag that is gum? Paris made the mistake of thinking she was smarter than a fifth grader!
She becomes more and more pathetic as the years go by! "Gum"? Are you kidding me? Life is a joke to this slag.
Paris Hilton and Blago. Poster Children for the "Stupidity is not illegal" card.
How funny, the old "I thought it was gum" defence...was that before or after she consulted with her attorney? Maybe when she's in prison, she could write book and entitle it "It's Not My purse, but the Gum Sure is Good".
What is a "bindle?" And "Hilton admitted the Albuterol belonged to her -- as well as the $1,300 in cash in the purse -- but denied that the cocaine -- .8 grams, to be exact -- and the purse were hers." She denied that the cocaine and the purse were hers but said the Albuterol and $1,300 in the purse were hers? Was she using someone else's purse to store her stuff? DO THE MORONS AT USMAG EVER PROOFREAD THEIR ARTICLES or are they too busy patting each other one the back?
Will someone please explain to me why this dumbass is still walking around. PLEASE PLEASE GO AWAY!!!
No wonder she's confused. She's usually covered in a white, sticky, bodily fluid, not coke.
Just when you get when you let them think they are "special".Hold them accountable like anyone else.Or will she have another melt down and walk after 8 hrs???
You can tell who she hangs around with; "it is not my purse, it is not my cocaine, I don't know how it got there. She is scum with money. Who cares. She will get off because her parents will "BUY" her freedom. She is a joke and the world knows it. The only fans she has are naive 10 year olds.
What fans she has no fans she soooo dumb if she really thought that "oh i thought it was gum" thing was really going to work
Yeah Paris. You can't lie your way out of this one DUMBA$$. You knew the coke was in your purse, and I just bet you were going to try to get rid of it. Well, it backfired on you and you dropped it in front of the cops. Serves you right and I'm glad you got caught. Lies catch up on you eventually so stop trying to play dumb and accept responsibility for your actions. You are almost 30 years old and time to GROW UP!!!
What the heck did you expect? What would you have said..Oh That's my coke!
You have to be out of your mind Paris to think anyone would belive this.
Poor Paris, and that needle in your purse...you thought that was an ink pen, right?
Oh please oh please oh please put her in jail for 29 years!!! I'll never want for anything again, I swear it!
Um, since when do you snort gum???

Elizabeth - Just FYI - albuterol most certainly DOES come in tablet form.
