Glamorous television presenter left mortified after her 'messy' mugshot is released to public
A stunning television presenter is dealing with some regrets after her unflattering mugshot was released online.
Gloria Torres encountered legal problems after police responded a loud noise complaint in the northeast Mexican city of San Nicolás de los Garza on May 20 around 2am local time.
The 35-year-old model was in the process of being questioned by the cops on Cerro de Mamulique Street when she attempted to flee the scene in her vehicle and was immediately placed under arrest.
The Multimedios Television host was taken to a local police station, where she spent five hours before a judge saw her and released her on a bail bond of $206.
She seemed a bit embarrassed after her legal woes were made public and her arrest photo was released by the San Nicolás de los Garza Municipal Police Department.
'If I had known that they were going to leak that photo,' Torres joked in a social media post, 'they would have let me know so I could retouch it, because my hair comes out very messy.'
Torres also took to Instagram Story, where she vowed to reveal the facts that led to her arrest.
'I will give my version because obviously this is not going to stay like this,' she claimed. 'People with bad intentions want to damage my image.'
In a separate post, she claimed that her run-in with the law may have benefited her.
'There is no such thing as bad publicity, I think this has worked to my advantage,' she said.
Torres is the second Multimedios Television presenter who has had a brush with the law in three months.
Gisselle Sampayo and her boyfriend were arrested at their home in San Pedro Garza García on February 17 after a neighbor heard the couple arguing loudly and called the police.
According to local outlets, Sampayo's boyfriend is the alleged leader of street drug gang that operates in Monterrey, San Nicolas de Garza and Apodaca.
Sampayo was eventually released after the Nuevo León state prosecutor's office found that she did not have any links to her boyfriend's illicit dealings.
