Miss Rwanda arrested for drink-driving after accident

Divine Muheto, the reigning Miss Rwanda, has been arrested for drink-driving and driving without a license.

Police reported that she damaged property before fleeing the scene, though no injuries were reported.

This is not Muheto's first offense for driving under the influence.

Her case will be heard in Kigali court on Thursday.

The beauty pageant has been suspended since her win in 2022 due to sexual misconduct allegations against the organizers.

In Rwanda, drink-driving can result in a fine and short police custody, with recent strict enforcement laws aiming to reduce road accidents.
