She first found fame in 2009 auditioning for the eighth season of American Idol in a string bikini, but Katrina Darrell could become infamous for a very different reason.
The aspiring singer has found herself facing two years imprisonment after being charged with three offenses, according to reports.
TMZ reported that the 24-year-old former Hooters waitress has been charged with one count of DUI and two counts of misdemeanor hit and run.
The buxom beauty was arrested after midnight on March 30 after running a red light and hitting another vehicle while trying to get her mother, whose head was bleeding after a fall, to the hospital.
According to Pomona PD Sgt. Patrick O'Malley, Darrell allegedly tried to flee the scene and when he pulled over her 2004 Toyota Camry he could smell booze on the busty reality star's breath.
Katrina, who was crying hysterically, failed her a field sobriety test and then blew a .17, which is twice the legal limit in California.
The reality star now plans to fight both charges and her manager Michael Blakey said Katrina only had a couple of glasses of wine. After the accident, he claims she pulled over immediately and called 911.
According to Blakey, it took the officers several attempts to get a proper reading on the breathalyzer test because 'the test did not show the results that the police wanted.'
He added that audiences will be 'seeing more of Katrina and her bikini soon!'
No one has heard much from the former Ed Hardy model since 2009 when she was planning on starting her own clothing line called 'Pairadice,' which would have sold distressed jeans, clubbing gear, and, naturally, bikinis.
