Beauty Pageant Workers Face Arrest in Miss Puerto Rico Scandal

GMANews.TV reports that police in Puerto Rico expect the imminent arrest of two beauty pageant employees after an investigation into a plot to sabotage a Puerto Rican contestant by covering her clothes in pepper spray.



The pageant’s security director and a catwalk coordinator, alleged backers of a rival to beauty queen Ingrid Marie Rivera, will likely be charged with assault in coming days after detectives consult with prosecutors, police spokesman Lt. Eddie Hernandez said Tuesday.


The scandal broke when Rivera claimed that saboteurs conspired to torpedo her pageant bid at November’s Miss Puerto Rico Universe competition by tainting her clothes and makeup kit with pepper spray, causing her to break out in hives.
