Nearly five months after Paris Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits were arrested in Las Vegas, her businessman beau is expected to be charged with three crimes.
Waits, who failed multiple sobriety tests when his vehicle was stopped by police outside the Wynn Hotel on Aug. 27, will face a felony charge for being under the influence of a controlled substance, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Additionally, prosecutors are seeking to slap the 35-year-old with two misdemeanors for driving under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
In all instances, the drug in question was marijuana. Cops found a "roach" – a "white piece of rolled paper w/ green leafy sub inside" – in Waits' car, according to the initial police report.
The Las Vegas paper reported that lab tests proved Waits was high during the incident.
He could be sentenced to jail and/or probation if convicted on the charges.
It's unknown whether he will be offered a plea deal like Hilton was in September.
The heiress, 29, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges in exchange for a year of probation, a $2,000 fine and a mandate to complete 200 hours of community service as well as a year a drug abuse program.
