Paris Hilton was arrested on Friday night for cocaine possession (in Las Vegas, Nevada). In addition to cocaine, she also had other items, including the prescription medication albuterol, a police report indicates.
What is albuterol?
Albuterol is a prescription medicine used to treat asthma. Specifically, it is used for the relief of bronchospasm (bronchial tube spasm) in conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Albuterol is frequently distributed in inhalers, but also in tablet or liquid form. In the case of Hilton, the albuterol was in the form of a broken tablet.
According to the police report, Hilton said the person did not belong to her. Rather, it belonged to a friend. On the other hand, Hilton claimed ownership of the broken Albuterol pill, Zig Zag wrappers commonly used to wrap marijuana joints, $1,300 in cash and credit cards.
The police report said Hilton, 29, asked to use a bathroom after police stopped the Cadillac Escalade she was in. The car was stopped because police detected a "strong odor of marijuana" from an open window.
"While we were waiting for the female officer to arrive, Hilton said she needed to put some lip balm on, and I handed her the purse from the table. As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggy begin to fall from the purse into my hand."
Evidently the reason she needed to go to the bathroom not to put lip balm on, but to flush something, and not bodily waste, either.
The last time Paris Hilton faced down the law, upon hearing a sentence of 45 days in jail, Hilton shouted, "It's not right!" and started screaming for her mother. What was not right, in her opinion, was that she was not above the law due to her riches. Many celebrities act as such.
