Washington,
(ANI):
A
South
African
court
has
dropped
a
marijuana-smoking
case
against
US
socialite
Paris
Hilton.
The
multi-millionaire
socialite
was
detained
for
interrogation
over
the
issue,
but
her
Los
Angeles-based
rep
has
said
that
the
case
against
her
has
been
dropped.
“I
can
confirm
that
the
incident
was
a
complete
misunderstanding
and
it
was
actually
another
person
in
the
group
who
did
it," Radaronline
quoted
her
rep
Dawn
Miller
as
saying.
“The
case
has
been
dropped
against
Paris
and
no
charges
will
be
made,"
he
added.
In
fact,
African
officials
have
apologised
for
their
confusion.
“The
authorities
have
apologized
for
wrongfully
accusing
her
since
she
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
incident,"
added
Miller.
Hilton
was
ordered
to
appear
before
a
special
court
sanctioned
to
deal
with
World
Cup
crime.
There,
the
heiress
was
reportedly
told
police
had
dropped
their
complaint.
However,
one
person
in
Hilton"s
group
pleaded
guilty
and
was
ordered
to
pay
a
small
fine.
