REPORTER: HILTON DECLINED LIMO SERVICE
Just hours before her arrest for cocaine possession last night in Las Vegas, the heiress was offered a limo for the evening but turned it down, saying, "My boyfriend [Cy Waits] will drive me."
Celebrity socialite Paris Hilton received no special treatment during her three-hour stay at the Clark County Detention Center following a Friday night drug arrest, Las Vegas police said.
Hilton, 29, was booked on a cocaine possession charge after being picked up on the Strip, and was later released without having to post bail.
Socialite Paris Hilton, who was arrested on drug charges in Las Vegas on Friday, is shown about 8 p.m. at Color Salon at Caesars Palace with her colorist Michael Boychuck and entertainment reporter Alicia Jacobs of NBC affiliate KSNV-TV, Channel 3. In an interview with Jacobs, Hilton praised her boyfriend Cy Waits for stopping a knife-wielding intruder at her home on Tuesday. "Thank God Cy was there to get the knives away and just hold him there unto the police came," said Hilton. It was such a "scarey" incident, said Hilton, that she told Jacobs she planned to go to a shooting range next week to begin lessons. (Photo courtesy Alicia Jacobs)
