Pepper Sprayed Miss Puerto Rico
So we all read the stuff saying that she wasn’t sprayed because they hadn’t found traces of the substance on her bag or the gown that was allegedly hit. Now, though, police say it was true all along.
After being crowned Miss Puerto Rico, Marie Rivera claimed that her dress, bag, and a swimsuit had been sprayed. She thought perhaps by a rival contestant. She said she had to apply ice packs in between appearances on stage due to a reaction.
Despite this, she went on to win. Now police say that after continued investigation and questioning, they have determined that she was, indeed, a pepper spray victim. But they don’t think it was done by anyone she was competing against, but by a volunteer for the pageant
They haven’t decided how to proceed as of yet, as far as charges go. Marie goes on to the Miss Universe pageant in July.
