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.

Lindsay Lohan hands down won the non-coveted award for Most Celebrity Legal Woes of the Year. The troubled 25-year-old started off 2011 in the Betty Ford Clinic and things basically went downhill from there!

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, a warrant was issued in February for Lohan’s arrest after she was caught on camera stealing a necklace from a Venice Beach jewelers.

She subsequently pled no contest to misdemeanor theft and probation violation (from a previous DUI case) and was sentenced to 120 days in jail, 360 hours of community service at the Downtown Women's Center, and 120 hours at the L.A. County morgue.

Lohan served her sentence, which equated to 35 days, under house arrest due to jail overcrowding, wearing a tracking ankle monitor, and was pictured partying up a storm on her rooftop terrace — she also failed a random alcohol test during her ‘incarceration.’

According to the police report, the 26-year-old beauty queen was weaving in and out of traffic at 60 m.p.h. with an uncorked, half-empty bottle of champagne in the car when police pulled over the black 2011 Jaguar in the early hours of Saturday morning.
