Paris Hilton’s boy friend CY Waits has been fired from his job as a nightclub operator after being arrested by the police for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Waits was the driver of the car that was pulled by police — leading to Hilton’s arrest for possession of cocaine.

Police stopped the car because they saw what they thought was marijuana smoke coming from it.

Hilton was brought to the security office of a nearby hotel, where police allegedly found the cocaine in her purse. She was arrested for one count of possession of cocaine. Hilton has denied that the purse belonged to her.

Waits, along with twin brother Jesse, had just been promoted to head of nightclub operations for the Wynn and Encore resort company. He was fired shortly after he was taken into custody.
