Paris Hilton Arrested at World Cup for Smoking Pot

Socialite and heir to the Conrad Hilton fortune, Paris Hilton, has been arrested in South Africa for smoking pot during the Brazil-Holland game, according to various reports that surfaced late Friday.

Hilton was expected to appear in a special court later on Friday, the 702 radio reported.

A spokeswoman for police at Port Elizabeth, Brig. Marinda Mills, declined to confirm the name, but said a high profile person was appearing in court.

"This person is appearing in court right now. We cannot reveal information about her until she has appeared in court. I am here with the individual in court, we're waiting for the court to start," Mills told the Associated Press.

Hilton's Los Angeles-based publicist, Dawn Miller, said she was awaiting details from the court appearance before commenting.

"She was found in possession of some amount of dagga," the officer said, using the local name for marijuana. "We don't know how much. It's a high profile person, only the top cops are dealing with it," he said.
