Some of you might remember Rima Fakih for becoming the first Arab-American to win Miss USA in 2010. Alternatively, you might remember her for being arrested on December 3rd for a DUI in Highland Park, Detroit. Police said they found an open bottle of champagne when they pulled her over for weaving in and out of traffic at twice the speed limit (60 in a 30 MPH zone). For those curious, she was pushing a 2011 Jaguar.

Rima set foot in court for the first time yesterday since the original infraction and has a court date set in March. Rima claims she wasn’t drinking but the police breathalyzer put her at 0.19 (more than twice the legal limit for those too young to drink or do simple division). She’s been formerly charged with drunken driving, carless driving, and having an open container of alcohol. Pics of the former Miss Michigan have been all over the place: partying with Lil Jon, Criss Angel, and even winning a pseudo-stripper contest. If you ask me, she’s the perfect fit for our Beauty Queens Behaving Badly sorority. Photos of the hot mess are below along with other beauty queens gone wild.
