Rima Fakih, the 2010 Miss USA, was arrested by police early Saturday morning in Michigan on suspicion of driving under influence.

Fakih, who won the pagent in May 2010, was arrested this weekend, her attorney Doraid Elder has confirmed the arrest, adding that the beauty queen is very apologetic for getting herself into such a situation.

"very saddened and very apologetic for the situation that she's in right now," Fox News quoted Elder as telling People magazine.

However, earlier Fakih had tweeted a denial about her arrest, but the post has since been removed.

"Let's clear things up now. ... I'm NOT in Michigan and I'm NOT in jail! Wrong Fakih," she had posted on Twitter.

This isn't the first time that Fakih has been surrounded by scandal.

Right after she won the Miss USA pageant, a 2007 video of her competing in a 'Stripper 101' pole-dancing contest emerged.

Fakih was the first Arab American ever to win the pageant and the first Miss Michigan to win the title since 1993. (ANI)
