A woman who accused police of arresting her because she was too ‘good-looking’ has allegedly killed her mother.
Hend Bustami, 28, called cops on Wednesday to report that her mother was dead.
‘At approximately 2.30 in the morning, a 911 dispatcher received a phone call from a frantic female stating that her mother was dead,’ said Las Vegas Metropolitan police Lt Dave Valenta.
‘Then the line was disconnected,’ Valenta told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Responding officers found Bustami’s 62-year-old mother with ‘multiple deep lacerations’ at a home on the 10000 block of June Flower Drive, Valenta said.
Detectives determined that Bustami and her mother were engaged in a verbal argument. The mother’s identity has not been released.
Bustami was arrested around 5.30am in Barstow, California. She will be charged with open murder and extradited to Clark County.
She first made headlines after allegedly dining and dashing at a Chili’s restaurant at Harry Reid International Airport on August 31.

Cops found Bustami sleeping ‘near the security checkpoint, hindering their operations’, and took her into custody at the baggage claim area, according to an arrest report.
Bustami claimed ‘she was being harassed because cops (had) never seen anyone as pretty as her’, police said at the time. She was ‘belligerent’ with officers.
During her arrest, Bustami threatened to spit on all the involved cops. She said ‘officers were perverts and were trying to rape her because they (had) never seen anyone as good-looking’, the arrest report states.
Bustami was booked in jail on misconduct charges.
Authorities also discovered that Bustami had an outstanding warrant from the municipal court, but those charges were not clear.
Bustami graduated from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in 2017 and described herself as a hospitality professional.
Police responded to Bustami’s home at least 12 times this year, including once for a suicide attempt and seven for a ‘family disturbance’, according to 8NewsNow.
