Do these two go looking for trouble?
Paris Hilton's latest boy-toy, Cy Waits, was cited for a hit and run last night for clipping paparazzo with his Bentley as the dynamic duo beat a hasty retreat from a restaurant, the L.A. Sheriff's Department confirms to E! News.

The couple were leaving the West Hollywood hot spot Boa, with Cy behind the wheel and Paris riding shotgun, when the car was suddenly swarmed by paparazzi.
Cy accelerated through the crowd, knocking one of the shutterbugs down. The couple drove away without assessing the damage.
The dinged photog dialed 911. Paramedics came and took her to a local hospital.
A Paris-free Cy returned afterward to deal with the cops. He was allowed to leave, but only after being cited for a hit and run. He may now be facing a misdemeanor charge from the incident, Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Spokesman Steve Whitmore tells E! News, adding that at some point they will interview Paris as a witness.
"The person attacked by the vehicle insisted on a private person's arrest so we cited the driver, but this is all preliminary," said Whitmore. "We have to reinterview the deputies as to what occurred. We are going to conduct a thorough traffic investigation."
Paris, meanwhile, is putting the blame squarely on the photographers. "Lovely evening with friends and family ruined by aggressive paparazzi," she tweeted after the incident. "They are literally insane!"
Whitmore did confirm the car was "swarmed" and says Waits returned shortly after dropping Paris off.
"Apparently the driver did everything in his power initially to avoid anything, but the car was swarmed," he told E! "As he was moving forward, everyone was told to part, and they began to, but then this one individual jumped back in front."
Earlier this month, the fun couple were busted while cruising the Vegas Strip. Paris copped to cocaine-possession charges and was sentenced to probation and community service, and Waits lost his job as manager of a local club.
