[1]American party girl Paris Hilton was briefly held by the police on the French island of Corsica after being caught with cannabis in her handbag, according to police sources. Hilton was detained after arriving at the airport in Figari on a private jet from Paris on Friday.
The police found less than a gram of cannabis in her handbag, and released her soon afterwards without charge.
According to Corse-Matin newspaper, Hilton was travelling on the private jet with “people close to power in Malaysia,” and was due to travel by yacht to the luxury resort of Porto Cervo in Sardinia, Italy.
The incident is the American’s second brush with the law in July.
The 29-year-old was arrested during the World Cup in South Africa after a friend she was with took a joint to the Brazil-Netherlands quarter-final match in Port Elizabeth.
A darling of the tabloids, Hilton, the great-granddaughter of the Hilton hotel chain’s founder, shot to fame in 2003 when her boyfriend leaked a video of their sexual escapades on the Internet. —AFP
