Socialite Paris Hilton was busted for alleged cocaine possession on Friday night in Las Vegas. This marks the third time that the celebutante has been detained for drug related incidents this summer.

Earlier in July, The Simple Life star was arrested in South Africa for a marijuana related charge at the World Cup, but was released without charges. Then, a few weeks later, Paris was detained in France for allegedly having pot in her purse; those charges were dropped and she was released.
