Boy, the first thing I thought with this is what a shame that this woman would hang with these losers? But then the other thing to think of is the diversion this woman provided for this team. She is famous and pretty, so the last thing any checkpoint team would expect is this woman to be with a bunch of killers. I am sure this gang thought that they could just pass right through the checkpoint. Good on the checkpoint team for using good judgement and catching these guys, despite the Beauty Queen. –Matt

GUADALAJARA, Mexico – A reigning Mexican beauty queen from the drug-plagued state of Sinaloa was arrested with suspected gang members in a truck filled guns and ammunition, police say.
Miss Sinaloa 2008 Laura Zuniga stared at the ground, with her flowing dark hair concealing her face, as she stood squeezed between seven alleged gunmen lined up before journalists. Soldiers wearing ski masks guarded the 23-year-old model and the suspects.
