Paris Hilton speaks out on drugs arrest

Paris Hilton insists she had “nothing to do” with the incident that saw her get arrested on drug charges in South Africa Friday night.

The socialite was taken into police custody and held in a cell after watching the soccer World Cup match between Brazil and Holland in Port Elizabeth as undercover police officers said they had found local marijuana, known as ‘dagga’, in her handbag.

Paris had been followed by detectives as she boarded a luxury bus that had taken her, her friends and movie star Leonardo DiCaprio to the quarter-final game and when officers unleashed their sniffer dogs, they went straight to the blonde beauty and her pals.

At the time, Paris’ rep insisted that it was a “misunderstanding” and “It was actually another person in the group who did it… The case has been dropped against Paris and no charges will be made.”

Hilton herself has now spoken out to set the record straight.

“Hey guys,” she wrote on her Twitter page, “there’s a lot of crazy rumors going around. Just want you all to know the truth. Everything is completely fine. I was not charged or arrested, cause I didn’t do anything.
“I was assisting the police with the investigation and answering their questions. Everyone was super nice and friendly to me. I love South Africa! Such an amazing place, especially during The World Cup! Hope that clears everything up. Love you guys, thanks for your concern. Xoxo P”
