The Associated Press website reports today (December 6, 2011) that Rima Fakih -- the first and only Muslim to win the Miss USA title -- was arrested on December 3 in the Detroit enclave of Highland Park on a drunken driving charge.
Doraid Elder -- Fakih's lawyer -- said she is "very saddened and very apologetic for the situation that she is in right now."
Fakih, 26, was born in Lebanon. She was raised in New York and moved to Dearborn, Michigan in 2003.
She won the Miss USA Pageant in May 2010, and was the first Miss Michigan to win the title since 1933, and the first Arab American winner ever.
