A former beauty queen is facing a string of drug charges after she was trafficking meth in Las Vegas.
Katherine Rees won Miss Nevada in 2007 and was supposed to compete in the Miss USA pageant, but then was stripped of her title after lewd photos of her surfaced.
She was photographed kissing other women and exposing herself in a Florida night club, TMZ reported.

Now, Rees, 30, is being charged with four felonies.
They include trafficking a controlled substance, sale of a controlled substance, and two counts of conspiracy to violate the uniform controlled substances act.
In September 2014, Rees was caught selling meth to a man, and a month later she was found with 5.3 grams of the substance on her.

Rees was on an Australian TV show in 2010 when officials at the Sydney airport found traces of cocaine on her purse.
“I don’t do drugs,” Rees said on the show. “I don’t use cocaine. I don’t use any kind of pill, no kind of Xanax, no anything. I don’t use anything.”
