LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss was arrested and charged with possession of prescription drugs and driving under the influence on Thursday morning outside Las Vegas.

A statement issued by Nevada's Nye County Sheriff's office said deputies responded to a possible drunk driver a little after 9 a.m. Thursday morning in the town of Pahrump.

Deputies stopped Fleiss and found drugs but no prescription. A passenger, John Owen, also was arrested on charges of being under the influence of controlled substances and possession of marijuana.

Reached by phone, Fleiss told Reuters she was stopped in a parking lot when an officer approached her. She had taken Owen, a plumber, to a hardware store, she said.

Fleiss admitted carrying the pain killer Vicodin, but said she has a prescription, only it was not with her. Fleiss said she must appear in court and show the prescription.

"I'm squeaky clean this time," Fleiss said.

Fleiss was convicted in 1997 on tax evasion charges in connection with a prostitution ring she was accused of running that catered to Hollywood celebrities. Her arrest and trial made headlines around the world.

Subsequently, she was involved with actor Tom Sizemore and accused him of domestic violence. More recently, she moved to Nevada, where she had planned to build a legal brothel.

So what's the point Dave?

Heidi Fleiss got busted - the height of celebrity news! News you can use. News of the day. The most important news you read all week. Celebrity news of the world guaranteed to shake the earth to its very foundations.

yeah, sure, I'll believe that;)

Yeah,

...she's about as 'clean' as an empty DOUCHE BAG!

or, as they say in the brothels of Mexico.... "Douche!

I have no sympathy for bad drivers, drunk, drugged, or simply bad drivers, so on that matter I guess I feel like if she is guilty of these charges, then she is gonna get what she deserves.... Then again... I feel VERY strongly (don't EVEN think about arguing with me on this) that Heidi's first "brush with the law" was so totally wrong. What she was doing was NOT wrong, it may have been against the law, but prostitution should be legalized. She was railroaded, and was treated so wrongly by the "justice" system. She was persecuted because she did not break the confidence of her clients, for that I actually admire her, the prosecutor just had to get her somehow so they stuck her with a stupid assed tax evasion charge.

I don't know, maybe she should get off on this drugged driving charge, just because she was railroaded before.

Speaking of "guilty until proven innocent (unless you are a rich republican...)" whatever happened to.... Senator Larry Craig? Don't hear much about him anymore.

And what about that school princepal who was arrested while in drag? I really hope he got let go on, he may have been "guilty" but I feel that what he was doing should not have been a crime.

Yeah,

What happend to ol Fred what's-his-nme?
