Martin says that during the stop officers found what appeared to be a controlled substance on Hilton and tests showed that it was cocaine.
He says he doesn't know how much of the drug was found.
Las Vegas police Lt. Wayne Holman says that Hilton was still being held around 2 a.m. Saturday. He says she will probably be released on her own recognizance later in the morning.
