Paris Hilton is in Hawaii, on vacation. You know, because it’s just so grueling being such a dumbass cokehead. There are photos of her here – she’s posing in a bikini, absolutely thrilled that she’s getting attention again. Anyway, regarding her arrest in Las Vegas a few weeks ago – apparently, Paris got special treatment. Shocking, I know. The police chief of Las Vegas just gave an interview where he tried to explain why Paris got “special treatment” when she was booked for possession – basically, he says that she would have caused major hassles for the other inmates, etc:

When Paris Hilton was busted in Las Vegas last week for alleged cocaine possession, she went straight to the express line at the Clark County Detention Center — where she was processed in half the time (three hours versus six) it normally takes for charged criminals. But it wasn’t V.I.P. treatment, authorities insisted.

“She was treated differently,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Deputy Chief Jim Dixon told The Las Vegas Review-Journal. “So I don’t have a disruption of my process here at the county jail.”

Dixon continued: “When you bring somebody in like that, everybody comes over and tries to look at them. I’d have officers attempting to keep inmates away from her. I’d have disruptions.”

Dixon insisted that the heiress was still subjected to normal booking procedures despite the speedy entrance and exit.

After cops found cocaine in her purse two weekends ago, Hilton, 29, was charged with felony cocaine possession and faces up to four years behind bars.

The “matter will be dealt with in the courts, not in the media” her attorney said August 28. “I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law.”

“I’m so thankful to all my fans for all the love and support you are giving me,” Hilton Tweeted to fans shortly after being released.

Eh. I mean, I can understand his argument, I suppose. And if she was still booked the same way as everyone else, what does it matter if she didn’t get the same treatment in the jail cell as everyone else…? But I still think that everything should have happened according to how they treat everyone else. Would a normal, everyday, non-famous hooker have to sit in a jail cell, waiting to be booked, for half the night? If the answer is “yes” than why is THIS hooker getting special treatment? It’s not like Paris is even some award-winning artist or something, you know? If this was about Meryl Streep getting special treatment for cocaine possession (perish the thought), I would say “Yes, she deserves some leeway, she’s fabulous.” But it’s Paris. Eh.
