Paris Hilton was in and out of the Las Vegas jail she was taken to after officers arrested her for possession of cocaine in about three hours, which is only half the time the average person spends at the Clark County Detention Center.

And if you think that was because Paris got special treatment as a celebrity, you're right. But not for the reasons you'd think.

"Yeah, she was treated differently so I don't have a disruption of my process here at the county jail," said Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Deputy Chief Jim Dixon. "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."

But not everyone is happy about the special treatment. Jessica Murray of Bob's Bail Bonds told the LVRJ that her clients "are all asking me 'why can't we get out that quick.'" Murray's clients are mostly "working girls" who are booked for non-violent offenses and spend up to 24 hours in jail!
