Katherine Nicole Rees, a former Miss Nevada who was stripped of her crown in 2007 after sexually explicit photos of her surfaced online, has been charged with possessing and selling meth. Katherine allegedly sold someone named "J. Peacock" meth in September, then was found with 5.3 grams of the stuff on her person a month later.
Though details about these alleged crimes are limited, police have also accused her of having "co-conspirators." A $50,000 warrant for her arrest was issued recently, and the charges filed against her this week. That's where the details end. But there is much more in Miss Nevada's past.
It's not the first time Rees has faced allegations of drug use. In 2009, she appeared on an Australian TV show, on which she was shown being questioned by Sydney customs officials after swabs of her bag and laptop tested positive for cocaine. "I don't do drugs," Rees insisted on the show at the time. "I don't use cocaine. I don't use any kind of pill, no kind of Xanax, no anything. I don't use anything." She was released without being charged. But then in 2012, she pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor drug charge in exchange for prosecutors dropping other, more serious charges, including unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of one ounce or less of marijuana. She was sentenced to undergo drug counseling.
The young woman is still apparently working as an actress and model, and is signed with two Las Vegas agencies, who weren't aware she'd been arrested. The Journal also dug up this odd tidbit from her Facebook profile (now deleted) which identifies her as a "peace shaman," "Warrior of Light," and "Indigo child/ starseed, healer, keeper and teacher of ancient wisdom, helping to raise the frequency (vibration) of humanity to the new 5D Earth through enlightenment, peace and love."
