Ex-Miss USA Rima Fakih arrested on drunk driving charge

by Admin

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. – Former Miss USA, Rima Fakih, was arrested on a drunken driving charge early Saturday morning.

Her lawyer, Doraid Elder, told the Detroit Free Press that Fakih is “very saddened and very apologetic for the situation that she is in right now.”

According to her lawyer, the beauty queen was arrested in the Detroit enclave of Highland Park and she spent the majority of Saturday behind bars.

The lawyer also acknowledged that the alleged drunk driving was “poor judgment” on her part and that “it shouldn’t be something that defines who she is.”

26-year-old Fakih was born in Lebanon and was raised in New York. She moved to Michigan in 2003 and her family lives in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn.

Fakih won the Miss USA Pageant in May 2010 and was the first Miss Michigan to win the title since 1993. She was also the first Arab American winner ever. Her reign ended June 19, 2011.

At the time of arrest, Fakih’s blood alcohol level was at 0.20, which is more than twice the allowed legal limit. The police have yet to publicly comment on Fakih’s arrest.
