A woman arrested for skipping the tab at an airport restaurant accused police of harassing her because she was too “good-looking.”
Hend Bustami, 28, departed a Chili’s Tex-Mex restaurant at Harry Reid International Airport last Wednesday without paying her bill, TV station KTLA said.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police responded to the scene found the self-described “hospitality professional” napping “near the security checkpoint, hampering their operations.”
Bustami was eventually arrested by the baggage claim, where an arrest report said she appeared intoxicated and was “belligerent” with officers.
Bustami claimed “‘she was being harassed because cops [had] never seen anyone as pretty as her,’” police said.
The young woman had another outstanding warrant from the Las Vegas Municipal Court, authorities eventually discovered. It is unknown what these charges were.
While being arrested, Bustami threatened to “‘spit on all [the officers]’” while saying that “‘officers were perverts and were trying to rape her because they [had] never seen anyone as good looking,’” according to the report.
Bustami, a 2017 University of Nevada–Las Vegas graduate, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct.
