Ex-Beauty Queen arrested on kidnapping charges

Most of us have an ex or two that we’re not too fond of. Maybe it’s the guy you dated for years before you figured out what a loser he was, or maybe it was that jerk that you just went out with four times… before you figured out what a loser he was. Either way, we’ve all got a few exes that we’re not thrilled about. But generally we manage not to tie them up, bite them, and stick butcher knives in their ears. Don’t get all huffy, I said generally. I know a few of you probably have done the butcher knife thing. Unlike the rest of us, Miss Arizona contestant Kumari Fulbright, 25 or 27 (depending on which news report you read), did do all those things to her 24-year-old ex-boyfriend, whose name news outlets don’t seem to be releasing. We’ll call him Arnold. Fulbright – who is a second year law student at the University of Arizona – teamed up with another ex-boyfriend, his brother, and a third man, to kidnap and torture Arnold.

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.

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.

Not only is she a law student and a former Miss Arizona contestant in 200 and 2006, but Fulbright also was a clerk for US District Judge Raner Collins. So we’re pretty sure she knows she’s not supposed to kidnap and torture people. The defendant lured Arnold to her home on December 8th, when she then claimed she had to take a shower. As soon as she disappeared, two men, ex-boyfriend Robert Ergonis, 46, and his brother Michael, 44, barged into the house with weapons and accused Arnold of stealing some of Fulbright’s jewelry. He was tied up and taken to another home where Larry Bruce Hammond, 40, also took part in the torture. After 10 hours, Arnold eventually got one of his hands free and grab Fulbright’s gun. It went off (apparently not injuring anyone) and he managed to escape.

Fulbright and Hammond were arrested and charged this past week, but the Ergonis brothers have fled, and authorities are looking for them in Columbia. Fulbright has a big year coming up – a kidnapping/torture trial AND she in Miss May in the 2008 calendar for Subguns.com, which features women in bathing suits holding guns. Fulbright holds a HK 51 while wearing a shiny black bikini. I bet that will really help her out in prison.
