Vegas DA Arrested

When it comes to drug possession, no one is above the law – not celebrities, and not the prosecutors who try to bring them to justice. It was a lesson Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars both learned in 2010 when they were arrested in Las Vegas on separate drug charges. Now, the Las Vegas chief deputy district attorney who helped prosecute those stars has been arrested and booked into jail on drug charges of his own.

David Charles Schubert

David Charles Schubert, 47, was booked into jail last weekend and faces a charge of cocaine possession, the same charge Hilton and Mars were initially booked on following their arrests in summer 2010. While the socialite and the musician both later struck plea deals, it’s unclear what Schubert will do yet.

The DA, who is often assigned to Las Vegas's high-profile and celebrity cases, allegedly bought crack cocaine from a street dealer while a nearby police officer witnessed the entire transaction. Possession of cocaine is a felony in Nevada.

Ironically, Schubert is a member of a federal drug task force. This story just seems to prove that no one is immune to drug use or addiction.
