After Paris Hilton was arrested in Sin City last week for alleged cocaine possession, questions arose as to how she was able to get in and out of Clark County Detention Center in just three hours when the usual charge process takes about six.
Well, it wasn't special treatment exactly.
But different? Yes.
Authorities say they merely wanted to get the heiress out as fast as possible to avoid any chaos, not to do her any favors.
"Yeah, she was treated differently so I don't have a disruption of my process here at the county jail," Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Deputy Chief Jim Dixon told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"When you bring somebody in like that, everybody comes over and tries to look at them. I'd have officers attempting to keep inmates away from her. I'd have disruptions."
However, Dixon made sure to state that just because the process was faster than normal, Hilton was still subject to all regular booking procedures.
Hilton is scheduled to appear before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure on Oct. 27.
