PARIS HILTON was yesterday charged with cocaine possession following her arrest in Las Vegas.
The heiress, 29, could face up to four years in jail if convicted.
A police arrest report said that 0.8g of cocaine was found in her handbag on Friday night.
Officer Dennis Flynn`s report said Hilton, 29, was stopped as she was driven by boyfriend CY WAITS after cops noticed an "odour of marijuana" coming from the car.
He added: "Hilton said she needed to put some lip balm on and I handed her the purse.
"As she began to open it, I saw what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggy begin to fall from the purse and into my hand.
"She told me the purse was not hers, that she borrowed it from a friend."
Yesterday The Sun told how Paris claimed the high street bag could not be hers as it is too cheap.
Waits, 34, was charged with drink-driving.
