Miss Arizona contestant Kumari Fulbright has been charged with with armed robbery, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon over the kidnap and torture of an ex-boyfriend.
Fulbright tied up and threatened the ex over a ten-hour period in two different houses in Tucson, AZ.
The two brothers that helped her in the ordeal are fugitives from justice. Authorities have an arrest warrant for Micheal and Robert Ergonis, 44 and 46, respectively, who are believed to have fled Arizona for Colombia.
Fulbright invited her ex-boyfriend over to her Tucson apartment. She told him she was going to take a shower when the Ergonis brothers entered the residence armed with handguns. The brothers drove the victim to another home in Tucson, where a third man, 40-year-old Larry Bruce Hammond, allegedly became involved.
Hammond has been arrested and charged.
While at the second house, the three men left, leaving Fulbright to watch over the victim with a gun. The victim got one hand free, grabbed the gun from Fulbright, and reportedly discharged the weapon during the struggle. He then got freed and fled the apartment.
Fulbright, who was released on $50,000 bail, had reportedly served as a law clerk for a US District Court judge while she attended the University of Arizona's law school. She is a member of the editorial board of the campus law journal.
Fulbright was Miss Pima County in 2005 and then Miss Desert Sun in 2006. Fulbright will appear in a 2008 calendar for Subguns.com that features pictures of bikini-clad brandishing firearms. In her pics, she is holding an HK 51 machine gun.
