The heiress keeps getting into trouble with foreign law enforcement over marijuana possession, but she insists it’s all a misunderstanding.
Even heiresses aren’t immune to drug trouble, as Paris Hilton recently found out not once but twice while traveling overseas. It started earlier this month in South Africa when Hilton ran into a problem while attending the World Cup. She had allegedly been smoking marijuana and was questioned by the South African police before being released and cleared of any wrongdoing.
Now, barely two weeks later, Hilton has been held by police on the French island of Corsica and again pot was the problem. This time, authorities allege that Hilton had less than a gram of marijuana in her purse, according to People magazine.
Despite the legal troubles, Hilton seemed upbeat when taking to Twitter “to put an end to these rumors.” The socialite insisted that stories that say she was arrested are “completely false” and that she’s having the “best vacation of her life.”
In the incident in South Africa, where she and a friend were detained at Nelson Mandela Bay stadium, Hilton was only released after a traveling companion named Jennifer Rovero pleaded guilty to possession charges and now faces a fine.
While Hilton doesn’t face any charges in either incident, it’s somewhat suspect that the well-known party hopper has had problems stemming from pot twice in different countries just a few weeks apart. Is it a trend that will continue or was Hilton really just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Only time will tell.
