FORMER MISS NEVADA USA REES JAILED; TOOTH CHIPPED
Dethroned Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees was jailed in the Clark County Detention Center after a 3 a.m. incident with police which left her with a chipped tooth.
She was charged with resisting an officer after she became “physically aggressive,” according to a Metro report.
It’s the latest controversy for Rees, who was stripped of her Miss Nevada USA title in December 2006 after photos surfaced on the Internet of her kissing other women and exposing herself when she was 17.
Her hard partying resulted in being rushed to a Las Vegas hospital last year and treated for alcohol poisoning. Rees, 23, was also cited Wednesday for driving on a suspended license, operating a motor vehicle with suspended plates, no proof of insurance, and operating a vehicle with expired license plates.
Her tooth was chipped during the scuffle with the office, Vegas Confidential learned. She was pulled over by police not far from where she lives, near Harmon and Decatur.
Rees, who grew up in Florida, had been dating Palms owner George Maloof throughout 2007, but they broke up around Thanksgiving, according to friends.
Maloof said by telephone he wasn't aware of the incident until noon and added, "I don't really know anything about this."
KVBC-TV, Channel 3 reported at the time of Rees' dethroning that photographs of her appeared on the MySpace page of Tiffany Masters, who according to the station promotes "legitimate escort services" called "Vegas Arm Charms" and "VIP Eye Candy."
