Paris Hilton Arrested Again

Hilton and her boyfriend, Cy Waits, were arrested in Las Vegas, Waits was booked on charges of DUI, while Hilton was busted for possession of a controlled substance … cocaine.

Paris was released on her own recognizance shortly after her arrest and has hired Vegas legal eagle David Chesnoff.

Sources who have spoken with Paris since her arrest on the Vegas strip late last night tell TMZ … she insists the purse — with what we’re told contained a small amount of cocaine — was not hers.

As we first reported, 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.
