Paris Hilton pleaded guilty to cocaine possession this week, said E! Online. The charge stemmed from Hilton’s arrest last month in Las Vegas, when officers witnessed a bag of the substance fall out of her Chanel handbag. The 29-year-old heiress agreed to a plea deal, and will pay a $2,000 fine, serve 200 days of community service, and complete a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of a one-year jail sentence.
