Paris Hilton South Africa Pot Possession

Paris Hilton, who spent a month behind bars in 2007 after a DUI arrest, had a brush with the law again on Friday. The 29-year-old hotel heiress, who was tweeting from the World Cup, was detained in South Africa outside Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium by police who suspected someone in her entourage was smoking marijuana, TMZ reports. Though the website reported that an officer said she was caught red-handed with the illegal substance, Hilton was later questioned, released, and the South African court dropped the charge. According to her publicist, “the incident was a complete misunderstanding.” Her co-accused, Jennifer Rovero, pleaded guilty to marijuana possession and was sentenced to a fine of the equivalent of $130 or 30 days imprisonment. Hilton later tweeted, “Everything is fine guys. I had nothing to do with it.”
