Paris Hilton 'faces felony drug charges'

Paris Hilton will reportedly be charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, according to court documents.

Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits were arrested during a traffic stop on Friday for possession of a controlled substance, which was later confirmed to be .8 grams of cocaine, reports TMZ.

The heiress could face up to four years in prison if convicted. The standard sentence for the felony is one to four years in jail and a possible fine of up to $5,000 (£3,214).

Hilton earlier claimed that she did not own the drugs and that the bag in which cocaine was allegedly found was not hers.
