Miss Kentucky Latina loses crown after assault arrest

She lost her crown because police say she went on a royal rampage.

A couple of bizarre attacks landed a beauty queen in jail.

22-year-old Daniela Gaskie was Miss Kentucky Latina, until 27 NEWSFIRST told pageant officials about her arrest in Richmond last week.

Police say she stabbed a gas station attendant and beat up a pharmacist.

Mary Ann McKinney is still recovering from cuts and bruises she got about a week ago. The pharmacist says a woman was beating on her car, and when she walked outside to see what was going on, the woman started beating on McKinney.

"She immediately kicked me with her knee into my abdomen and ripped at me and tore my glasses off and ripped my neck and scratched me and busted my lip, had a knot on my head. She was quite wild," says McKinney, a pharmacist at M & M Drug in Richmond.

The woman McKinney wrestled is 22-year-old Daniela Gaskie. She was the reigning Miss Kentucky Latina until the organization found out about the arrest.

Police say Gaskie also stabbed an attendant at the Swifty gas station across the street from M & M Drug.

Police charged Gaskie with assault, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief. Her arrest report states officers detected alcohol on Gaskie, and that she told them she was being profiled for being "Mexican." The Miss Latina U.S. Organization says they want to support her with any difficulties she is facing, but with charges pending, she is not the role model they want. They stripped her of her title Tuesday.

"She wasn't a very good example of anything that night," says McKinney.

Our calls to Gaskie and her husband were not returned.

McKinney says she first learned about the title Gaskie held when her friends looked into her car and saw a Miss Kentucky Latina sash.

The Miss U.S. Latina organization says if they had known Gaskie was married, they would have taken away her crown sooner.

What an inspiration to the culture this piece of work is.

Another drunk mexican, with a fondness for lying and playing the race card after assaulting someone. So what else is new?

If she does not like being singled out for her ethnicity, perhaps she should stop competing in events that exclude all others because of race, like a Hispanic beauty pageant. Maybe Gloria Allred is available.

and that she told them she was being profiled for being "Mexican

RACE CARD AGAIN!
Looking at her picture i would never known she was Hispanic,so why is it they always call the race crap. Must have been when she OPENED her MOUTH and stuck a foot into it.

So PROUD to be Mexican maybe they should go back to their homeland.Do us all a favor

When the authorities found out she was Mexican,(aka a wise latina)they should have immediately dismissed all charges,offered deepest apologies, awarded her a large cash settlement,and named a street after her.These measures are the least we can do as concerned Americans to help right the mental anguish she suffered!

She probably won because of having so much class!! All low of course

I've been here 11yrs. and this is the first time I've ever heard of a "miss anchor baby pageant" Teresa Issacs (former mayor of Lex. and most likely the nations first anchor baby turned this city into a sanctuary city, her family business is building and construction) I've had to work side by side with illegals for many years and I've listened to them hate on me to the guy we worked for (past tense) They're still working for him but not us. These poor hard working people who are just trying to better they're lives are the most hateful, racist, whiny, jealous,backstabbing people I've ever met in my life. And I speak strictly from experience. Several times as a boy they've tried taking me out of the equation.(I can beat Forrest Gump in a foot race) I taught my son to love and respect everyone to lend a hand when he can. I guess they don't instill these values in they're own kids. I just want them to know that I've been a hard working tax paying American all my life and I'm still waiting for the American Dream.

She wasn't a very good example of anything that night," McKinney said.

She was a very good example of how they play the race card ASAP!

I think that these groups get awy with having these race exclusive groups and pagents etc. because no one of another race tries to enter thier events and then sue them and file descrimination charges when they are disqualified on race alone.

I believe that race based organizations whould be sued and shut down. This includes the Black and Hispanic caucuses in our congress.
