ANN CURRY, co-host: But first, Matt , for the second time in a week Paris Hilton is making headlines. This past weekend, the high-flying heiress was arrested on the Las Vegas Strip for drug possession. Well, NBC ‘s Miguel Almaguer has more. Hilton was charged with possession of a controlled substance. MIGUEL ALMAGUER reporting: Ann , good morning. “She said she had not seen it but now thought it was gum,” Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn wrote in a report made public on Monday. “She had not seen it but now thought it was gum,” said an officer’s report. According to the police report , the cop who stopped the Escalade pulled along the passenger side of the vehicle and smelled “the strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.” The cop writes he noticed immediately the passenger was Paris.  He then observed her trying to roll up the window. There was also a “broken tablet of Albuterol” a prescription medication used to control wheezing in the bag and Zig Zag wrappers, commonly used to roll marijuana joints. At the hotel, Paris told the cop she needed lip balm so the cop handed Paris her purse: “As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggie begin to fall from the purse and into my hand.” The cop also says … inside the purse was a “broken tablet of Albuterol” a prescription medication used to control wheezing.  And cops say they found Zig Zag wrappers … commonly used to roll joints.

The bad news, obviously, was that police allege they found cocaine in Hilton’s purse after pulling over boyfriend Cy Waits’ black Cadillac Escalade outside the Wynn Las Vegas resort on Friday night because they suspected that marijuana was being smoked inside the vehicle. The socialite, who was arrested in connection with possession of drugs in Las Vegas Friday night, Tweeted a message to her public Sunday, thanking them for the well-wishes she’s received in the wake of the incident. Hilton told them that she recently got the bag back but never checked the contents.

I swear on my life,” she has told friends, according to TMZ. “Because Paris was taken away from the scene where the car was pulled over, this could potentially be an illegal search of a person … Paris is telling friends, “It could be a setup.  Everyone knows how against cocaine I am.” And there’s this … Las Vegas Metro didn’t follow standard procedures when Paris was arrested and her lawyer will be talking to the D.A. about this.” Hilton has said the purse belonged to a friend, though police have not identified any other passengers in the vehicle so far or pressed charges against anyone besides the reality star and Waits, who was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Everyone knows how against cocaine I am,” according to TMZ.

The bad news, obviously, was that police allege they found cocaine in Hilton’s purse after pulling over boyfriend Cy Waits’ black Cadillac Escalade outside the Wynn Las Vegas resort on Friday night because they suspected that marijuana was being smoked inside the vehicle.

The salon is reportedly a spot she regularly visits when in Vegas, and Boychuk even displays a glamorous portrait of Hilton in the salon and considers her a friend.
