The French media has reported that actress Paris Hilton was momentarily detained after a small amount of marijuana was detected by sniffer dogs on July 17. Reports from the French newspaper Corse Marin states that the actress was caught with possession of the illegal substance (approximately one gram of marijuana) in the Figari airport. It was said that Hilton was aboard a private jet on July 16 going to the French Mediterranean Island when she was held for interrogation but was released after about half an hour in detention.
In Corse Matin’s website, the column stated that Paris Hilton was aboard with powerful individuals from Malaysia, who were travelling from the capital of France to Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Meanwhile, in Hilton’s Twitter account (TwitLonger), Paris stated on July 17 “Just to put an end to these rumors. The stories saying I have been arrested are completely false!” “I am having the best vacation of my life”. Not a month ago, Paris Hilton was detained right after the World Cup match of Brazil and Netherlands came to a close in Port Elizabeth, South Africa when the actress was suspected to have possessed marijuana, but the accusation was dropped after a midnight court hearing. These cases as well as DUI’s are not new to the actress.
It can be recalled back in 2007 when Hilton was accused of reckless driving and driving under the influence. She pleaded no contest, and had to spend 45 days in custody. After spending half of her sentence, the actress announced in US TV that her experience made her evaluate the effects of partying, and concluded that she will be dedicating her time helping raise funds for people suffering from multiple sclerosis and breast cancer.
