Paris Hilton boyfriend faces felony in Las Vegas
Paris Hilton’s boyfriend is facing criminal charges stemming from his arrest with the celebrity socialite last summer on the Las Vegas Strip.
A complaint filed Thursday charges 35-year-old Cy Waits with a felony of being under the influence of marijuana, and misdemeanor driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. The former nightclub mogul could face up to four years in prison on the felony charge.
Police say an officer stopped the SUV Waits was driving Aug. 27 after smelling marijuana smoke coming from the vehicle.
Waits is due for arraignment Feb. 17. His lawyer, David Chesnoff, said Waits is not guilty.
Paris is serving a year of probation after pleading guilty to cocaine possession and obstruction charges in the case.

This is ridicules. There are plenty of criminals in Vegas for the Police to chase. Why are the Police hassling a celebrity? The fact that Paris is in Vegas she is promoting Vegas. And they arrest her? This is not right.
