The former Miss USA, Lebanese immigrant Rima Fakih, was arrested for drunk driving over the weekend, according to local media in Dearborn, Michigan.
She was detained until Sunday afternoon, the paper added. Fakih initially denied she had been arrested on Twitter, saying “Let’s clear things up now … I’m NOT in Michigan and I’m NOT in jail! Wrong Fakih.”
A 24-year-old Lebanese immigrant has been crowned Miss U.S.A.
Rima Fakih, from Dearborn, Michigan, is believed to be the first Muslim to win the pageant despite nearly stumbling over in her evening gown last night.
Born in Lebanon, she emigrated with her parents to the U.S. as a baby. She was raised in New York and attended a Catholic school.
