LAS VEGAS -- Paris Hilton was arrested on felony cocaine possession charges in Las Vegas late Friday, according to police.
Police arrested Hilton, 29, after they saw what appeared to be a cloud of marijuana smoke coming out of the windows of a black Cadillac Escalade being driven by her boyfriend, 34-year-old Cy Waits.
The officer "followed the vapor trail and the odor of marijuana to the Escalade," police Sgt. John Sheahan said.
A motorcycle officer stopped the SUV on Las Vegas Boulevard near the Wynn Las Vegas resort at around 11:30 p.m.
A crowd quickly gathered in the area, and Hilton was taken into the Wynn hotel to "keep her safe" during the initial investigation, according to Officer Marcus Martin.
According to Sheahan, Hilton pulled a tube of lip balm out of her purse, and with it fell a bindle of cocaine in a plastic bag right into plain view of officers.
Both Hilton and Waits were later booked at the Clark County Jail.
Hilton was released early Saturday morning, according to Watch Commander Lt. Wayne Holman.
She was on Twitter shortly after her release.
Hilton tweeted: "In bed watching Family Guy. Love this show.! So hilarious! Stewie is my favorite love his accent." She followed that with", Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris "
Waits posted $2,000 bail and was expected to be released Saturday.
He's facing misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to his attorney Richard Schonfeld.
Schonfeld said he was "troubled by the circumstances" leading to the arrest, but declined to elaborate.
"I am gathering facts, but I caution people not to rush to judgment," Hilton's attorney, David Chesnoff, told The Associated Press Saturday morning.
Court dates for Hilton and Waits were not immediately available.
Neither Hilton's manager nor her publicist have commented.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger also declined to comment Saturday.
If convicted of a low-grade felony, Hilton would receive probation. Any violation of that probation would be punishable by one to four years in jail.
The arrest came just days after a knife-wielding man tried to break into Hilton's Sherman Oaks home.
Nathan Lee Parada, 31, is facing felony burglary charges in the Tuesday incident.
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.
She pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. She served just 23 of those days.
Hilton is most famous for her tabloid exploits and reality TV series "The Simple Life." She has appeared in the films "Bottoms Up," "The Hottie & the Nottie" and "House of Wax."
Waits and his twin brother, Jesse, are managing partners of the Tryst Nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas, Drai's after hours club at Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon, and XS The Nightclub at Wynn's Encore resort

I love the tweet afterwards.
