Miss Lebanon Australia 2016 Najah Ghamrawi has reportedly been arrested following a police chase after officers allegedly spotted her driving dangerously through Bankstown on December 21.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the 18-year-old was forced to pull over when her tyre burst in Villawood, with officers questioning her and her 20-year-old male passenger.
Officers allegedly seized 22 grams of the drug ice and a large sum of cash from the man.
He was charged with drug offences and granted bail to appear at Bankstown Local Court on Feb 22. Najah was fined more than $1350 for failing to wear a seatbelt and not displaying P-plates.
A woman who said she was her aunt denied to The Daily Telegraph that her niece was involved in the incident.
“These are completely false allegations,” she told the newspaper.
“Najah was not in a car and was not taken to a police station. It’s complete rubbish.”
