The former Miss USA who was caught with an open bottle of bubbly in her car while weaving in and out of traffic at 60 mph has escaped jail time and instead has been sentenced to six months probation.
After pleading no contest to driving while impaired last month, Rima Fakih appeared in a Highland Park, Michigan courtroom on Wednesday where Judge William McConico ordered her to report for probation immediately, reported the Detroit Free Press. She will also carry out 20 hours of community service and pay $600 in fines and costs.
Despite being twice the legal limit when she was arrested on December 3, the 26-year-old beauty, who became the first Arab-American to be crowned Miss USA in 2010, claimed that she does not have a drinking problem.
