Paris Hilton is going to be formally charged with felony possession of a controlled substance for the .8 grams of coke cops found in the heiress' purse this weekend.

Paris is claiming that the little baggie of cocaine that fell out of her purse while she was reaching for some lip balm was not hers. But according to the police report, the officer on the scene felt that there was enough evidence to charge the heiress for possession since "the suspected cocaine fell from the purse Hilton was carrying, that the suspect cocaine was found near a broken prescription pill that Hilton admitted was hers, that she admitted that other items inside the purse were hers (including a package of Zig Zag wrappers, which are commonly used to roll and smoke marijuana), and that she was the passenger inside the vehicle, which was stopped after Officer M. Polion smelled the strong odor of marijuana coming from it."

Paris has retained the services of Las Vegas power attorney David Chesnoff, who has the task of proving the coke was not Paris' in court.

Calls to Chesnoff's office for comment were not immediately returned.
