Metro: Ex-Miss Nev. Assaulted Police

Katie Rees Hit Police During Arrest Attempt, Investigators Say

POSTED: 10:45 am PST February 6, 2008
UPDATED: 10:29 pm PST February 6, 2008

Metro police have arrested former Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees in connection with assaulting an officer.

Rees was stopped shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday for a traffic violation. During the stop, police discovered she was driving on a suspended license. When they attempted to arrest her, officers said Rees began to elbow and kick at the police.

She is being held in the Clark County Detention Center in connection with speeding, driving on a suspended license, driving an uninsured vehicle and resisting a police officer. Officials have not said if she will face assault charges in connection with attacking the police officers.

Rees was stripped of her crown at the end of 2006 after pageant officials discovered some provocative photos. Rees said she did not remember taking the pictures. She claims she was treated unfairly by Miss USA officials including Donald Trump, who gave Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance after she was caught drinking in New York bars when she was still underage.
