Mugshots of Paris Hilton and Cy Waits after their Las Vegas arrests.
Thursday, Feb. 17, 2011 | 8:30 a.m.
Paris Hilton's boyfriend, Cy Waits, has an Aug. 22 court date to fight criminal charges stemming from a Las Vegas Strip traffic stop with the celebrity socialite.
The 35-year-old Waits didn't appear Thursday in Las Vegas Justice Court.
His attorney, Richard Schonfeld, told a judge that he intends to challenge the constitutionality of Waits' felony charge of being under the influence of marijuana.
The former nightclub mogul also faces misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession and driving under the influence following his Aug. 27 arrest.
Hilton pleaded guilty in September to misdemeanor cocaine possession and obstruction charges. She's serving a year of probation.
Police stopped the couple in a black Cadillac Escalade after an officer reported a "vapor trail" of marijuana smoke wafting from the vehicle.






Pretty boy thought his 's' didn't stink, and he was on top of the world last Aug. 27. Gettin' high with his movie star girlfriend, man I bet you felt like you'd died and gone to heaven? You break the rules, you get fired by Steve Wynn, and go to jail. Get your act together Cy. No more wacky weed in a motor vehicle, with your heiress girlfriend and her cocaine in her Chanel clutch.
He couldnt run the night club. He didnt even know the workers. All high and mighty. Too good to talk to his employees. Bad management team. It all fell apart fast! They need to clean house of all the current managers in there and maybe it will work. Jesse could learn from his brothers mistakes but I doubt he will.
He's a mogul and she's a movie star?
Maybe I live in an alternate reality.
I can't quite comprehend either of those statements.
Just another loser taking up valuable resources. He should be made to reimburse the county for his visit to CCDC.
Wow..only a year from arrest to get to court.
Yes, what happened to a speedy trial. I notice that a lot here where people get delay after delay to go to trial.
JDM hit the nail squarely on the head.
This Cy dude had a good position at the Wynn and blew it.
Heck, I can't even find a decent part time job to supplement my social security.
I'll take a job at the Wynn, Encore or even Macau, any job.
Cy isn't a "mogul"...
Just another dumb ass who got hooked up with Paris. How many times can she say the words "I learned my lesson" after getting arrested?...5?
I like the note of a "black" Cadillac Escalade.. Irellivant i feel
Why is it that Paris did not get him out of trouble as fast as her attorney did for her, seems a little odd.
WTF is a former nightclub mogul?? Haha, you have got to be kidding.
This is wierd. How does "he intends to challenge the constitutionality of Waits' felony charge of being under the influence of marijuana." if he is charged with " faces misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession and driving under the influence following his Aug. 27 arrest."?? She was smart copped and fled so to speak..
I am sure paris will be right by his side.....NOT!
Recent news, pro baseball and other pro sports stars, play while high on weed {for 40+ years}, not to mention numerous wars fought while SMOKIN. Impairment while high has never been proven.
He looks more like a night club worker, than a mogul.
"Police stopped the couple in a black Cadillac Escalade after an officer reported a "vapor trail" of marijuana smoke wafting from the vehicle."
when you light up pot, there's smoke, not vapor. just saying...
Mogul? Thats a good one! He didnt create that club, he ran it for his uncle. And he ran it poorly.
Put some hot water in a bong and smoke some weed thru it..... THATS what vapor really is !!!!
I can imagine what 'humpty dumpty' would be saying when this one year delayed trial finally starts, making up all kinds of Paris Hilton excuses -one after another...
"No officer, it's not my weed... and um, yes it's my lungs but that's not my pipe either.. that's my friend's pipe.. and no that was not my lighter, it was Paris's....excuse after excuse.
DOES ANYONE KEEP A RECORD OF WHO BUYS THESE (BLACK) CADILAC (Escalade'S)?
I WOULD NOT WANT TO ROUSE ANY FALSE SUSCPION'S.
