ATL Beauty Tip: Don't Kidnap and Torture Your Ex-Boyfriend (Especially If You Are a Former Beauty Queen)

What is it about law students cum models who like to pose, in bikinis, with firearms?

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.

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.
