Former Miss USA Rima Fakih was arrested on Saturday for DUI charges in Michigan.

Fakih, a 26-year-old crowned Miss USA in 2010, was arrested in Highland Park, Mich. while driving with a friend to another friend's house.

According to Perez Hilton, Fakih had more than twice the legal limit of alcohol in Michigan in her system when she was arrested.

After reportedly spending most of Saturday in jail, Fakih took to Twitter to deny reports of her arrest.

Let's clear things up now.... I'm NOT in Michigan and I'm NOT in jail! Wrong Fakih, she posted on Twitter, which has since been deleted.

Her attorney, Doraid Elder, however confirmed the arrest on Sunday in a statement.

Unfortunately she was. [She is] very saddened and very apologetic for the situation that she is in right now, Elder said, also adding that Fakih's record has not a single blemish.

On Sunday, Fakih seemed to be in better spirits, as she tweeted about plans to watch football on Sunday.

Rima Fakih was crowned Miss USA in May 2010, the first Miss Michigan to win since 1993 and the first Arab American crowned ever.
