LAS VEGAS (AP) — An ex-county prosecutor who handled the Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars celebrity cocaine cases in Las Vegas was hit Thursday with felony gun, drug and conspiracy charges stemming from his arrest with what police said was $40 worth of rock cocaine in a neighborhood east of the Las Vegas Strip.
