Like Barack Obama said on the campaign trail, "if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig." Sometimes when you try to change a person's mindset, they still revert back to that, no matter how hard you try. Well, Laura Zuniga, the reigning Miss Sinaloa 2008, of Mexico, was arrested with suspected gang members in a truck filled with guns and ammunition. Of course, she tried to conceal her face during the process.

Zuniga was arrested shortly before midnight on Monday at a military checkpoint in Zapopan, just outside the colonial city of Guadalajara, said Jalisco state police director, Francisco Alejandro Solorio.

Zuniga was riding in one of two trucks, where soldiers found a large stash of weapons, including two AR-15 assault rifles, .38 specials, 9mm handguns, nine magazines, 633 cartridges and $53,300 in U.S. currency, Solorio said Tuesday.

State police identified one of the men caught with her as the brother of an alleged drug trafficker from Ciudad Juarez, a city on the U.S. border, and said the man appeared to have been her boyfriend. Zuniga told police that she was planning on traveling to Bolivia and Colombia with the men to go shopping, Solorio said.

Oh well, there goes her crown and her shot at a better life. People have to be careful of the company they keep or they will be faced with a life filled with trouble. Source: Fox News

When the former preschool teacher won Miss Sinaloa in July she gave an impassioned speech about how society should value women more, especially mothers. In October, she won the Hispanoamerican Queen beauty contest in October against competitors from across Latin America.

She placed third in the Nuestra Belleza Mexico pageant in Monterrey in September. That pageant sends its winner to the Miss Universe contest. For placing third, she was expected to represent Mexico in the 2009 Miss International contest. Source: Fox News

It seems that she has found herself among the most corrupt in Mexico. Again, if you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig.
