(Newser) – This scandal is a bit worse than having a stripper past: Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih, was arrested over the weekend in Michigan and faces drunken driving charges. Oddly, Fakih initially attempted to deny the reports, tweeting yesterday: "Let's clear things up now. ... I'm NOT in Michigan and I'm NOT in jail! Wrong Fakih." That tweet was later removed, People reports, and the 26-year-old's attorney confirmed the arrest today.
