After 28 years of hard work and overcoming adversity, things are finally looking up for Paris Hilton: the cops have caught the guy who stole her cell phone, reports the New York Post.Set your Wayback Machine all the way to 2005, when the blonde heiress lost her cell phone at a Manhattan nightclub. The phone ended up in the hands of another female patron, who turned the phone over to her boyfriend, 30-year-old hotel manager Marc Marrouche. Sensing an opportunity, Marrouche allegedly set his ethics aside and put the phone up for sale on Craigslist.
Of course, Craigslist users aren't limited to creepy bald men and college grads trying offload their Po?ng chairs; an undercover officer bid $5,000 US on the phone but pulled a bait-and-switch, offering Marrouche up to a year in jail instead.
Arrested on March 5, Marrouche was charged with criminal possession of stolen property. So, to keep track: steal a cell phone, serve up to a year in prison; drive drunk with a suspended license, serve only 45 days. Yeah, that sounds fair.
