A woman who previously made headlines for claiming she was arrested for being too "good-looking" is now accused of killing her own mother.
Hend Bustami, 28, was arrested in Barstow, California, by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers at around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday (October 26), the department confirmed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Bustami's 61-year-old mother, who wasn't identified by Metro Police or the Clark County Coroner's Office, is reported to have suffered "multiple deep lacerations" during an incident at a home on June Flower Drive shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Metro Lt. Dave Valenta told the newspaper.
“At approximately 2:30 in the morning, a 911 dispatcher received a phone call from a frantic female stating that her mother was dead,” Valenta told reporters at the scene of the incident on Wednesday. “Then the line was disconnected.”
Bustami was previously booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a charge of public misconduct at an airport stemming from an incident in which she was accused of skipping out on the bill at a Chili's restaurant located in Harry Reid International Airport in August.
Bustami was described as being “belligerent with officers, saying she was being harassed because cops [had] never seen anyone as pretty as her,” when responding officers made contact with her at the airport baggage area, according to an arrest report obtained by KTLA.
During her arrest, Bustami threatened to "spit on all [the officers] and that officers were perverts and were trying to rape her because they [had] never seen anyone as good looking,” the report stated.
Police later learned of a warrant issued by the Las Vegas Municipal Court for Bustami's arrest stemming from a battery charge from June.
Bustami was booked into the Clark County Detention Center in relation to the airport incident and later released, according to KTLA.
Bustami was being held at a San Bernadino County jail on a fugitive of justice charge in relation to the death of her mother and will be extradited to Nevada to face a murder charge, police confirmed to KTLA.
