(CNN) -- Paris Hilton was released from a Las Vegas, Nevada, jail Saturday morning after being arrested late the night before on suspicion of cocaine possession, police said Saturday.

The hotel heiress was riding in a black Cadillac Escalade which was pulled over in front of the Wynn Hotel on the Vegas strip at about 11:30 p.m. after police detected the smell of marijuana coming from the SUV, Lt. Wayne Holman told CNN.

The driver, who police did not identify, was arrested for driving under the influence, he said.

Hilton was taken to the Clark County jail. She was released after authorities determined she was not a flight risk, Holman said.
