As 8 News Now first reported, police said in August they arrested Bustami for reportedly skipping out on a restaurant tab and violating airport rules at Harry Reid International Airport. Bustami told officers at the time that she was under arrest because she was so good-looking, an arrest report said.
Police later learned Bustami had a warrant out of Las Vegas Municipal Court. Records show she faced a battery charge in June. She was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and later released.
The citation the 8 News Now Investigators obtained Monday indicates Bustami was accused of battery against a security guard at a business in the Arts District. The arresting officer noted Bustami could not sign the citation he wrote against her because she was intoxicated.
Bustami failed to show up to her arraignment in July, which led to a judge issuing a bench warrant for her arrest.

Las Vegas Metro police denied a request from the 8 News Now Investigators for records pertaining to the battery charge.
