Paris
Hilton
arrested after Brazil
World Cup
match
PORT
ELIZABETH, South Africa (AFP) - A South African judge dropped drugs
charges against American party girl Paris Hilton early Saturday,
after she was arrested for possession of marijuana at the World
Cup.
Hilton and her
friend were accused of possessing a marijuana joint at the
Brazil-Netherlands quarter-final in the southern city of Port
Elizabeth.
Hilton appeared in
one of South Africa's dedicated World Cup courts around 12:20 am
Saturday (2220 GMT Friday) as "Accused No. 1" in the case, but
appeared relaxed throughout the brief hearing.
"The charges against you, Accused No. 1, are
dropped," magistrate Xolile Dlulisa said.
"Thank you, your
honour," Hilton replied and left the court, after the three-minute
hearing.
Her friend,
31-year-old Jennifer Rovero, was found guilty of possession of
marijuana and ordered to either spend 30 days in jail or pay a
1,000 rand (128 dollar, 100 euro) fine. She paid the
fine.
