Theft charges against Paris Hilton dropped

Paris Hilton will not face any charges after allegedly stealing a copy of her sex video from a newsstand.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office dropped the case due to lack of evidence against the hotel heiress.

A security tape allegedly showed Paris stealing the DVD and ripping up a poster advertising it. She originally faced charges of petty theft and vandalism.

News-stand employee Jerry Castro said at the time, "She threw her eighty cents change at me and took the video and said, 'I'm taking this and I'm not buying it.'"
