Former Boxing Champ and Playboy Model Ava Fiore Busted With Marijuana

Ava Fiore, a female boxing champion who became a Playboy model, has been charged in a drug bust along Interstate 80 near Kimball, Nebraska.

According to the Associated Press, the Nebraska State Police reported that on Wednesday a car driven by Fiore, 27, was pulled over on I-80 east. Fiore consented to a police search of the vehicle.

During the search, troopers came across three large suitcases full of marijuana in the trunk of the vehicle.

Police confiscated around 60 pounds of marijuana from the vehicle Fiore was driving. That amount of marijuana is said to have an estimate street value of $50,000.

Fiore was arraigned on Thursday on a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. Fiore posted bail which was set at $250,000.

Fiore won the 2002 Golden Gloves championship and went on to appear in several sexy pictures in popular men's magazine, Playboy.
