Paris Hilton detained in South Africa on allegations of possessing marijuana



US socialite Paris Hilton has appeared in a South African court following her arrest after a World Cup game.

Ms Hilton was arrested in Port Elizabeth after the Netherlands' defeat of Brazil in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

She appeared at a special court set up to process cases during the World Cup on Friday evening.

Reports suggest that she was arrested for possessing marijuana but the court hearing went ahead behind closed doors.

Ms Hilton is the great-granddaughter of the founder of the Hilton hotel chain.

In 2007 a US court sentenced her to 45 days in prison for drunk and reckless driving.

After serving 25 days in jail she told US talk show host Larry King that she had re-evaluated her life and wanted to do more charity work and less partying.
