Released after drug arrest - Paris Hilton

The socialite was booked into the Clark County Detention Centre early on Saturday on the cocaine charge, Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin said. She was released before dawn on her own recognisance.

The 29-year-old Hilton was in a car driven by a friend when it was stopped about 11.30pm local time on Friday after officers detected what they suspected to be marijuana smoke wafting from it, he said.

"Officers noticed a vehicle leaving smoke trail of a controlled substance (and) made a stop based on that," Martin said.

During the stop, officers found what appeared to be a drug on Hilton and later tests showed that it was cocaine, Martin said. He didn't know how much was found.

He said Hilton was apparently recognised by passers-by and a crowd quickly gathered in the area where the vehicle had been pulled over.

Police watch commander Lieutenant Wayne Holman said Hilton was released early on Saturday morning. He didn't know how long she had been held nor any details about a possible court date.

He said the man who was driving the car was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of drugs. But he didn't have any other details, including his name.

The arrest came during a week in which a burglary attempt was made on Hilton's Los Angeles home.

Officials said 31-year-old Nathan Lee Parada faces a felony burglary charge in the incident on Tuesday.

Authorities have said that someone carrying two big knives banged on Hilton's window. She posted a photo of the arrest on Twitter and described it as "scary."

Hilton was arrested this summer after the Brazil-Netherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing.

Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told US television host Larry King that the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted "to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis."

Lindsay Lohan - Prescription Problem

It turns out that troubled Mean Girls actress Lindsay Lohan's recent problems could have been caused by a misdiagnosis.

According to TMZ, doctors at the UCLA Medical Center, where Lohan, 24, is currently serving a court-ordered 90-day inpatient stay, reportedly believe that the star was misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, otherwise known as ADHD.

The drug Adderall is commonly prescribed to treat the disorder and may have caused Lohan to display the irrational manic symptoms similar to someone who is abusing cocaine or methamphetamine.

Dr. Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist and leading expert on the dangers of the over-prescribing of psychiatric drugs, told MTV News it doesn’t really matter if Lohan was misdiagnosed or not. “Whether or not she was misdiagnosed, [Adderall] will have the same effect,” said Breggin.

Breggin is the author of Medication Madness: The Role of Psychiatric Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide, and Crime. Although he is not familiar with the details of Lohan’s case, he continues to explain about misconceptions about Adderall.

“It's a myth that it will have a different effect whether you have ADHD or not. If she was given Adderall, it's entirely possible she would have a reaction that was indistinguishable from that of methamphetamine or cocaine, including producing manic or psychotic behavior.”

With all the new information in mind, the new judge in the case will meet with lawyers next week to discuss a possible early release for Lohan.
