Dethroned Miss Nevada USA takes plea deal
LAS VEGAS (AP) -April 9, 2008 Katherine N. "Katie" Rees is avoiding trial by pleading no
contest to speeding, operating a motor vehicle without proof of
insurance and driving with an expired registration, a suspended
license and suspended registration.
The 23-year-old former beauty queen also agreed during her court
appearance Wednesday to pay up to $1,312 in fines.
The resisting arrest charge that was dropped could have gotten
her up to six months in jail.
Rees was stripped of her title in December 2006 after racy
photos of her appeared on the Internet.
