More Than A Number

Paris Hilton can never seem to stay out of the news for the wrong reasons. This time it has been reported that Paris was detained in Corsica for marijuana possession.According to the French newspaper Corse Martin, Paris was detained by the authorities when sniffer dogs alerted them to something suspicious in her bag. Figari airport officials investigated promptly and discovered one gram of marijuana. The star was then taken in for question but was released half an hour later without any charges. Paris had been in transit on the island and was reportedly travelling with people who were “very close to power” in Malaysia. Whether those persons were involved or not in the quick release of Paris is not yet evident.Paris responded to the incident by posting on TwitLonger. She said that she wanted to put an end to the rumors and wanted to make it clear to everyone that she was not arrested. She also said that she was having the best vacation that she had ever had.This incident comes soon after the South African incident which also involved marijuana. In that instance Paris was arrested in Port Elizabeth soon after attending the Brazil – Netherlands match. Although she was arrested for marijuana possession, the case was dropped within hours. Her most infamous brush with the law was, of course, the alcohol-related reckless driving charge in 2007. For that, she spent 45 days in jail and claimed that it had changed her perspective of partying and that she wanted to do more to help the unfortunate.
