Paris Hilton Gets Felony Drug Possession Charge (See AP Video), Boyfriend Cy Waits Fired?

Paris Hilton has been charged with felony drug possession by Las Vegas police, a charge which has a maximum sentence of four years if she is convicted. More than likely though as the AP reports, Hilton would be put on probation and if she violates the terms of that, she would be convicted up to four years in prison.

Paris the heiress, 29, basically sealed her own fate when after arrested and taken inside the Wynn Las Vegas hotel (her request), she reached inside her purse for lip balm. At that point, the arresting officer wrote "As she began to open [the purse], I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggy begin to fall from the purse and into my hand."

Along with .8 grams of cocaine and Zig Zag cigarette wrappers typically used for marijuana, a broken piece of the tablet Albuterol was found inside her purse.

Hlton's boyfriend du juor, Cy Waits, was arrested alongside Paris. Waits, a Las Vegas nightclub executive, has reportedly lost his job at Wynn Resorts according to a report by Casino Gaming Stock that also said the club has a "zero-tolerance policy."
