Tori Vance, who was crowned Miss Arizona Teen USA in 2010, was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles last weekend.

Media reports state that Vance, who's from Ahwatukee, made an illegal U-turn in Hollywood on Saturday night and was pulled over. Her blood-alcohol level tested at higher than .08, according to TMZ, which first reported the teeny-bopper scandal.

Vance, a Mountain Pointe High grad who's now 18, states on her Facebook site that she lives in Los Angeles; she's apparently working on a modeling career.

An introspective post on April 1 says, "If you aren't practicing your faith, working on a career, or caring for your loved ones everyday, what are you doing..."

Looks like she answered her own question.
