Paris Hilton arrested with cocaine

American socialite Paris Hilton has been arrested in the US for alleged possession of cocaine, police say.

Ms Hilton was arrested by Las Vegas police when they stopped a car in which she was a passenger.

Officers found some suspicious powder in the car, which later proved to be cocaine.

She was booked into the county jail and will be charged and released on bail later, police said.

Ms Hilton was briefly arrested in July by South African police who suspected her of smoking marijuana, but she was later released without charge.

She served time in jail for drunk driving in 2007.
