Beauty queen and former lingerie football player Stormy Keffeler — who is also a possible suspect in the December stabbing of a professional soccer player — said she was following her lawyer’s advice when she failed to mention her conviction on her beauty pageant application.
“The paperwork says, ‘Have you been convicted of a felony?’” the 23-year-old told ABC News. “And when I contacted my lawyer, he told me that it was a misdemeanor.”
Keffeler resigned from the crown late Thursday and was immediately replaced by first runner-up Kelsey Schmidt, pageant official Maureen Francisco posted on Facebook. The pageant team said they first learned about the months-old conviction last week.
The beauty’s trouble began in April 2015, when Seattle cops stopped her for driving with two flat tires. Her eyes were droopy, her speech were slurred and her blood alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit, police said.
She pleaded guilty in September — just a month before she was crowned Miss Washington.
“It’s hard when a dream that you’ve had comes crashing down,” Keffeler said of her resignation. “I’m still hopeful that I still have the opportunity to change the world.”
Meanwhile, the the former lingerie football player for the Seattle Mist is also embroiled in the confusing December stabbing of a Major League Soccer star.
Former Seattle Sounders player Marco Pappa was found bloodied and nursing a stab wound inside a Seattle-area apartment last month. Keffeler was with him when police arrived.
The two gave differing accounts of what happened and Pappa also contradicted himself in statements to officers, who rushed him to a nearby hospital to undergo emergency surgery, police said.
It’s unclear if the stabbing took place before or after former club Seattle Sounders trading him to the Colorado Rapids on Dec. 15.
No one has been charged in the bizarre attack, but the investigation is ongoing.
