Paris Hilton is using the "it wasn't mine" defense after she was busted with cocaine late Friday night on the Las Vegas strip. Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits were stopped outside the Wynn Hotel after cops spotted what they suspected was a large plume of marijuana smoke coming from a Cadillac Escalade that Waits was driving. Waits, a Vegas nightclub mogul, was arrested on a DUI charge, cops said. The officers searched Hilton's purse and found cocaine and took her in on a felony drug charge, according to authorities. The pair were booked at Clark County jail around 2 a.m., police said. Hilton was released early Saturday morning. Waits, 37, is being held until he can be arraigned. Hilton quickly hired high-faluting Vegas lawyer David Chesnoff, who said Saturday morning he's still gathering facts about the arrest. "But I caution people not to rush to judgment," he said. Friends who spoke to Hilton, 29, after the arrest told TMZ.com the cocaine filled purse didn't belong to her. Hilton used a similar defense last month at a World Cup match in South Africa, where she was busted for possession of marijuana. The charge was later dropped. Hilton took to Twitter Saturday morning to inform fans she was "In bed watching Family Guy" around 6 a.m. "Love this show.! So hilarious! Stewie is my favorite :) love his accent," she wrote, mentioning a character on the animated program. "Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris :)" she tweeted about an hour later. Earlier this week, Waits pulled a gun on an armed intruder at Hilton's Los Angeles home. He forced the knife-toting trespasser to drop his weapons and lay down on his stomach until police arrived. "So Scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes," the hotel heiress wrote under a Twitter photo of the suspect cuffed on her lawn.
