Former
Miss USA Rima Fakih is facing drunken driving charges after a weekend
arrest in Highland Park, Michigan. She tweeted on Saturday: “Let’s clear
things up now. ... I’m NOT in Michigan and I’m NOT in jail! Wrong
Fakih.” But the post has since been removed, and her attorney Doraid
Elder confirmed the arrest yesterday. Elder had few details of the
arrest but said Fakih’s record “has not a single blemish,” adding that
the beauty queen is “very saddened and very apologetic for the situation
that she’s in right now.” In 2010, Fakih became the first Miss Michigan
to win the Miss USA title since 1993 and the first Arab American ever
to win the pageant. She competed for Miss Universe later that year but
lost.
