Kumari Fulbright - yesterday beauty queen... what about now?

A former beauty queen has been accused of kidnapping and torturing her ex-boyfriend.
Kumari Fulbright, 25, stuck a butcher's knife in her former lover's ear and repeatedly bit him while he was held captive for ten hours, court documents reveal.

The law student, who ran for the title of Miss Arizona in 2006, is said to have enlisted the help of three men to tie up the 24-year-old and threaten him at gunpoint.
The gang also stole his wallet, about £250 in cash, his mobile phone and briefcase. The victim finally fled from the second house he was taken to when he grabbed Fulbright's gun, which went off.

A search of the premises in Tucson, Arizona, uncovered a used bullet along with .45-calibre ammunition, plastic gloves, marijuana, the victim's possessions, and a book – How To Win Friends And Influence People.

Fulbright, who has been charged with armed robbery, kidnap and assault with a deadly weapon, was named Miss Pima County in 2005 and Miss Desert Sun in 2006. Her attorney, Tom Hartzell, said she was a promising law student who hoped to specialise in entertainment law.

'We're eager to see the process through and for the truth of this matter to come to light,' he said.
Fulbright, who worked as a clerk for a federal judge, has been released on £25,000 bail.
Officers are still searching for two men in connection with the case. A third man, Larry Hammond, remains behind bars awaiting trial.
