Paris Hilton was arrested for possession of cocaine Friday night in Las Vegas.
According to police, Paris was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over outside the Wynn Hotel. The driver was arrested for DUI (drug-related, not alcohol) and when cops searched Hilton, they found her in possession of a controlled substance.
Police say tests revealed the substance to be cocaine.
Paris' boyfriend, Cy Waits, was arrested as well. He was booked on a charge of DUI.
Sources who have spoken with Paris since her arrest on the Vegas strip late last night say... she insists the purse -- with what we're told contained a small amount of cocaine -- was not hers.
She's hired powerful Vegas lawyer David Chesnoff to handle the case ... and he already got her sprung without posting bail.
You'll recall Paris used the "the-drugs-weren't-mine" defense in South Africa last month, after being detained by police. No charges were filed against her.
As for the Vegas case, as far as we know she was the only woman in the car that was stopped, but she had been partying at a club prior to the bust where other women and purses were present.
