Mygripe Paris Hilton is claiming that she believed the cocaine found in her purse was chewing gum. According to a police report released on Tuesday, the 29-year-old was handed her purse by a police officer when a small bag containing the drug fell out. The officer reported that Hilton said she had not seen the bag but now thought it was gum. Hilton was arrested for possessing cocaine early Saturday morning after police in Las Vegas stopped her car.
She has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance – 0.8 grams of cocaine, it was claimed on Tuesday. The socialite could face four years in prison if convicted. She is denying the allegations, claiming the cocaine, which was allegedly found, along with the purse, was not hers. She said she had borrowed the purse from a friend. And somehow, according to Hilton, the contents of the purse were split between herself and the friend. The report states she claimed ownership of a broken Albuterol pill — a prescription drug used to help people with breathing — Zig Zag wrappers commonly used to smoke marijuana, $1,300 in cash and credit cards. However, she said several cosmetic items inside the purse were not hers, according to the police report. The District Attorney filed the case on Tuesday, with an October 27 arraignment, according to website TMZ. Nevada law states that if convicted, Hilton could get anywhere from probation to four years in prison — but the standard sentence is one to four years. She could also get fined up to $5,000. Her boyfriend Cy Waits, who was driving the car, was booked on charges of DUI. Mygripe
