Former Miss Nevada Katherine Nicole Rees, who gave up her crown in 2007 after her sexually explicit photos at a Florida nightclub surfaced online, was arrested for allegedly selling and being in possession of Meth. The beauty pageant alum was charged with multiple felonies that included trafficking in a controlled substance, sale of a controlled substance and two counts of conspiracy to violate the uniform controlled substances act.
According to legal papers filed on Monday, July 6 in Las Vegas Justice Court, Katherine sold meth to someone identified only as J. Peacock in September before she was found in possession of 5.3 grams of meth a month later. The complaint further claimed that Katherine conspired with "unknown co-conspirators." On Wednesday, July 8, a $50,000 arrest warrant was issued for her.
Back in 2009, Katherine said that she was not using any kinds of drug in an interview with an Australia TV show after swabs of her laptop and Louis Vuitton bag were tested positive for cocaine and meth at Sydney airport. "I don't use cocaine," she said at that time. "I don't use any kind of pill, no kind of Xanax, no anything. I don't use anything."
Contrary to her claim of being drug-free on the show, Katherine pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a drug in 2012. She did so in exchange for prosecutors dismissing other charges including unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and one ounce or less of marijuana.
She was ordered to stay out of problem and undergo drug counseling. According to court records, Katherine managed to complete the counseling.
