Paris Hilton was charged with felony cocaine possession

Paris Hilton was charged with felony cocaine possession in connection with her weekend arrest in Las Vegas.

Police found in her purse are .8 grams of cocaine, rolling papers commonly used for marijuana and a broken tablet of Albuterol. Her trouble started when the car driven by her boyfriend Cy Waits was pulled over in Las Vegas.

To avoid too much attention, Paris asked to go to the bathroom inside the Wynn hotel. Paris told the cop she needed lip balm so the cop handed Paris her purse: "As she began to open it, 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."

Paris claimed ownership of a broken Albuterol pill but denies that she own the purse and especially the cocaine. She gave a hilarious excuse, "She said she had not seen it, but now thought it was gum."

She also claims that she had borrowed it from a friend. Hmmm....I Smell Lies!!

Hilton is scheduled for arraignment on Oct. 27, She is facing four years in prison if convicted.
