Lightweight Paris gets pot pass

Paris Hilton was briefly held by police on the French island of Corsica after being caught with pot in her purse, according to police sources.

Hilton was detained Friday after arriving at the airport in Figari on a private jet from Paris.

Police found less than a gram of cannabis in her handbag and quickly released her without charge.

According to the Corse-Matin newspaper, she was traveling on the jet with “people close to power in Malaysia” and was about to board a yacht.
