Updated:Paris Hilton arrested for possession of cocaine (with Video)

The mugshot on the left was taken after Paris Hilton’s September 2006 arrest for reckless driving. The mugshot on the right was taken in June 2007 when Paris began serving her brief sentence for a probation violation stemming from her plea deal for reckless driving.
(August 27 CBS/ AP) - Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton was arrested Friday night and booked into the Clark County Detention Center for possession of a controlled substance, described by Las Vegas Metro Police as cocaine.
CBS News legal analyst Lisa Bloom says a conviciton would probably mean more time behind bars for Hilton.
She was a passenger in a car when Metro conducted a traffic stop around 11:30 p.m. Friday in front of the Wynn Hotel and Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip, according to Officer Marcus Martin, public information officer, who spoke with CBS affiliate KLAS-TV.
During the course of the traffic stop, police conducted a search and found an undisclosed amount of cocaine in Hilton’s purse.
An officer indicated to KLAS that a possible odor of marijuana was initially detected, requiring further interaction with police.
Hilton was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

I had a lot of respect for Paris Hilton a few years ago, but now she is just being irresponsible.
