ATL Beauty Tip: Don't Kidnap and Torture Your Ex-Boyfriend (Especially If You Are a Former Beauty Queen)
Sure, it might feel really good to (1) bite your ex-boyfriend on the arm, hand and ear; (2) hold a butcher knife to his head; and (3) threaten to kill him. Just imagine how satisfying that bunny-boiling must have been for Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) in Fatal Attraction.
But if there's any truth to the allegations against Arizona law student, former judicial extern, and ex-beauty queen Kumari Fulbright, and if her experience is at all representative, it won't do wonders for your looks:
More about the alleged misadventures of the Fulbright scholar -- who was indicted last month on charges of kidnapping, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, among other things -- below the fold (i.e., click on the "Continue reading" link below).
Super-attentive ATL readers will notice that we previously mentioned this story in yesterday's Morning Docket. But in light of the many emails we've received since then about this story, we felt it deserved a post of its own.
From the AP:
A law school student and former beauty queen who has posed for a racy calendar while brandishing a weapon has been accused of kidnapping, biting and threatening a former boyfriend with a handgun.Kumari Fulbright, 25, who is midway through her second year in law school, faces a long prison term if convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery, aggravated robbery and two counts of aggravated assault.
Fulbright, who competed for the Miss Arizona title in 2005 and 2006, recently completed a semester-long unpaid stint clerking for a federal judge, U.S. District Judge Raner Collins, his office said. She also poses wearing a shiny black bikini in a 2008 calendar that features women holding guns.
What is it about law student cum models who like to pose, in bikinis, with firearms? See also Oona O'Connell, the U. Miami Law grad featured on the Girls and Guns website [quasi-NSFW]. No matter what happens in Heller, the D.C. gun control case now pending in the Supreme Court, the Second Amendment will always occupy a special place in the hearts of hot young female law students.
Sorry for the digression. Back to Kumari Fulbright:
In the Dec. 18 indictment, Fulbright is accused of holding and torturing her 24-year-old ex-boyfriend in early December with the help of three other men, including another man she had previously dated.Authorities think the dispute began because the ex-boyfriend was believed to have stolen jewlery given to Fulbright by the former beau suspected of helping in the attack.
Fulbright invited the man to her apartment, then excused herself to shower, said police spokesman Sgt. Fabian Pacheco. Then two men showed up and bound him with plastic ties and duct tape, accused him of taking the jewelry, and threatened to shoot him with pistols, Pacheco said.
When Fulbright finished her shower, she allegedly bit the man on his forearm, right hand and ear, held a butcher knife to his head, and told him she was going to kill him.
Mmm, sounds kinda hot. Someone should let Judge John Hagler know about this.
Eventually the alleged victim escaped, then filed a police report:
"He has some bite marks on him, evident and consistent with his account, and his hands were red and swollen, consistent with someone who had been tied up," Pacheco said.A police complaint said the suspects stole the victim's wallet, money clip with $500 to $600, and his cell phone and briefcase.
Fulbright's phone is out of service and her apartment was unoccupied Wednesday, without any furniture. Efforts also were made to contact her through MySpace.com.
ATL also "poked" her on Facebook, but our poke was not returned as of the time of this posting.

1:23,
I think you should cuddle her and hold her hand, because the poor thing surely just has some issues and ought not be held responsible for her actions. That, or stick her in PMITA prison, which in her case is just plain old PMITT.

$600 in a money clip? A 24 yr old carrying a "briefcase"? Sounds more like a drug deal gone sour.

I'm assuming "after" is her mug shot - you can tell just by looking (together with the details of this story) that she has a few screws loose at the moment.....
Posted by: Anonymous | January 3, 2008 01:37 PM
$600 is not that much cash. I usually carry $200 to $300 around NYC. If the guy had a job in an office or is a salesman or many other things he could have a briefcase.

I dont get it . . . she still looks good to me.

In her mugshot, she looks like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. And is she wearing a straight-jacket?

Why won't anyone answer my query about sophisticated cross-border transactional work vs. complex bet-the-company litigation? (T5-->V10, btw)
Posted by: Anonymous | January 3, 2008 02:00 PM
So she is showering while he is being tied up? Then she comes out of the shower while they point a gun to his head. Does she drop the towel? Is she shaved. Oh boy, I better record this and put it somewhere that someone will find it!

That's consistent with my trysts with UM girls. They kind of lead you on and they do like the biting thing. Next thing you know, they're guns and other dudes in the room. Twice was enough.

What is on her forehead? Is that the beginnings of a Manson-esque swastika?

I tried to "poke her"

She has really, really bad skin. Lots of pock marks and acne. That's what you see on her forehead.

Hopefully you don't have SuperPoke, otherwise that could be devastating.

I have a friend at UA Law and the word is:
1. She was not on meth or anything else...Just over-stressed law student in the midst of finals with a major break out.
2. The victim got those marks from a bar fight at some place called Shelter in Tucson
3. The victim was some kind of con-artist who lies to women
4. The brothers are the wrong suspects and the guys were actually guys the victim owed money to who were there to try to get the law queen to give up more of her expensive jewlery to "save the victim"
Thats all I know for now....Maybe victim should really be "VICTIM"

But, wow, that mug shot ... she must have seriously lost it. I mean, going from "beauty queen" to accused kidnapper is a huge jump.

Giants covered, 3:52. But otherwise I think the story you heard makes a lot of sense.
In this week's action, don't get seduced by the Jags. Take the Steelers and give the points.

That's not an MP5. It's an HK51, which wasn't made by HK. The 51 was a modification of the G3 or HK91.

I think people need to give her a break. Law school exams are really hard and it takes a while for a girl to get cute again.
