Paris Hilton marijuana charges dropped in SAfrica

PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa – A court in South Africa has dropped a marijuana-smoking case against Paris Hilton.

The socialite appeared late Friday in a FIFA World Cup courtroom after being arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana at a quarterfinal match between Brazil and the Netherlands.

The authorities dropped the charges against Hilton, after her co-accused, Jennifer Rovero, "acknowledged to be in possession of cannabis, and pleaded guilty," said Brig. Sally De Beer, a spokeswoman for South African police.

Rovero, 31, from New York, was sentenced to a fine of 1000 rand ($130) or 30 days imprisonment, De Beer said.

A publicist for Hilton said the incident was a "misunderstanding."

Riiight.. who knows what really happened.

For all we know.. she was caught red handed with it and paid a hefty price to authorities.. in order for it to come out that it was all a miserunderstanding.

They know she’s got money and I highly doubt she got away scott free.
