Nicole Houde Former Miss USA Arrested For Assault

She's a savage beauty.

A former Miss New Hampshire USA punched, kicked and bit her boyfriend last week during a vicious attack after he accused her of sleeping around, CBS Boston reported.

Manchester cops said ex-pageant queen Nicole Houde, 26, flew into a rage on Wednesday morning when Scott Nickerson, 33, took her phone and wouldn't give it back.

The brunette stunner was arrested later at work and charged with simple assault.

Houde was crowned Miss New Hampshire USA in 2010 and later competed in the Miss USA pageant.

She now works as a make-up artist, personal trainer and pageant coach, according to her website.

She's not the first Miss USA contender to run into trouble with the law.

Earlier this month, Rima Fakih, 26, who won the crown in 2010, pleaded no contest to drunken driving charges stemming from a bust in December.

In May 2011, Miss Wisconsin USA Shaletta Porterfield dropped her bid to become Miss USA just a month before the contest after she was charged with identity theft.
