Paris to escape cocaine charge over failed blood test

44100, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - August 24, 2010. Booking photo of Paris Hilton, who was arrested late Friday night in Las Vegas on possession of cocaine. According to police, Paris was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over by police just outside the Wynn Hotel. The driver was arrested for DUI (drug-related, not alcohol) and after conducting a search of the car and Hilton, they found her in possession of a controlled substance. According to Police, tests revealed the substance to be cocaine. The hotel heiress was arrested and released on her own recognizance. Paris' boyfriend, Cy Waits, was also arrested and booked on a charge of DUI.

Paris Hilton could escape a jail term because the police who caught her with cocaine in her handbag failed to give her a blood test.

The heiress claims that the bag she was carrying belonged to someone else, and due to the police officers’ faliure to administer a test there is no evidence that she took the drug.

Paris herself denies all the charges, ranting on Twitter last week, “These rumors (sic) going around are so ridiculous, untrue and cruel. I’m not going to even pay attention to them, because I know the truth.”
