[ Ссылка ] Las Vegas - Embattled socialite Paris Hilton found herself wearing handcuffs instead of bracelets Friday night when she was arrested for what media reports said was cocaine possession.
The hotel chain heiress was reportedly arrested in Las Vegas when the car she was riding in was pulled over.
Police said they smelled marijuana and searched everyone in the car. Hilton was a passenger.
Police said they searched Hilton and found her to be carrying a "controlled substance."
TMZ reported police tested the substance at the scene and found it to be cocaine.
Public information officer Marcus Martin told reporters Hilton was booked into the Clark County Detention Centre. She was released on her own recognizance around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
Martin would not say how much of the controlled substance was found.
Hilton, who is known for keeping the world updated on her every move through her Twitter account, said nothing of the incident Saturday.
After the time she was released, she apparently just went home and watched TV.
Shortly before 6 a.m. ET, she wrote "In bed watching Family Guy. Love this show.! So hilarious! Stewie is my favorite :) love his accent."
An hour after that she announced it was bed time.
"Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris :)"
Last Tuesday, Hilton and her boyfriend called the police about an armed intruder. She said Vegas nightclub owner Cy Waits saved her life by pointing a gun at a man carrying a knife.
The man was charged with burglary.
Hilton has had ongoing trouble with the law, including arrests for drunk driving in 2006. She served jail time for that in 2007.
Earlier this year, Hilton was arrested for drugs while in South Africa, but the charge was later withdrawn against her after her friend pleaded guilty.
Hilton and former Playboy Playmate Jennifer Rovero, were taken into custody - authorities alleged because they were carrying a marijuana joint - at the Brazil-Netherlands quarter-final match in the southern city of Port Elizabeth.
In a post on Twitter after the incident Hilton wrote: "Hey guys, there's a lot of crazy rumors going around. Just want you all to know the truth. Everything is completely fine.
"I was not charged or arrested, cause I didn't do anything. I was assisting the police with the investigation and answering their questions," she wrote in July.
