Ex-Miss USA Appears In Court On DUI Charge
A Michigan beauty queen who made headlines two years ago by becoming the first Arab-American crowned Miss USA will stand trial in March on a drunken-driving charge unless a plea deal is reached, a judge said yesterday. Judge Brigette Officer set a March 14th trial date for Rima Fakih, who made her first court appearance since the December 3rd traffic stop in Highland Park. Fakih, 26, has said she wasn’t drinking that night, but two police breath tests put her blood alcohol content at over twice the legal limit. Fakih’s family moved to New York from Lebanon in 1993 and then to Detroit suburb of Dearborn 10 years later. She won the Miss USA Pageant in 2010, becoming the first Arab-American to do so.
