The former beauty queen pleaded no contest last month to driving while visibly impaired. Fakih has said she was not drinking on the night of her arrest last December, but two police breath tests indicated that her blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit.
Fakih, who was born in Lebanon, ended her reign as Miss USA in June 2011.
