Cops: Butt of pot cigarette found in Hilton SUV
LAS VEGAS — A police officer reported finding the butt of what he believed was a marijuana cigarette in a vehicle driven by Paris Hilton’s boyfriend after a traffic stop on the Las Vegas Strip.
A report made public Wednesday shows 34-year-old nightclub mogul Cy Waits failed field sobriety tests before his arrest late Friday.
Waits spent a night in jail on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence.
He’s free on $2,000 bail. A criminal case has not yet been filed.
Hilton was arrested on a felony cocaine possession charge after a police lieutenant says a bag containing 0.8 grams of cocaine fell out when she reached into a purse for a tube of lip balm.
The 29-year-old celebrity socialite has an Oct. 27 court date.
