When Fulbright finished her shower, she allegedly bit the man on his forearm, right hand and ear, held a butcher knife to his head, and told him she was going to kill him.
Authorities said the man was taken to another home, where the assault continued, then taken back to Fulbright's house, where she guarded him with a gun.
The man finally managed to free a hand and grabbed the gun, which discharged but hit no one, authorities said. As their struggle spilled outside, the man screamed for help, then ran to a home down the block, while Fulbright returned to her apartment, Pacheo said.
"He has some bite marks on him, evident and consistent with his account, and his hands were red and swollen, consistent with someone who had been tied up," Pacheco said.
A police complaint said the suspects stole the victim's wallet, money clip with $500 to $600, and his cell phone and briefcase.
Tucson police also are seeking to serve her former boyfriend, Robert Ergonis, 44, and his brother, Michael Ergonis, 46, with arrest warrants charging them with kidnapping, armed robbery and aggravated assault, but believe they may have fled the country.
Larry Hammond, 40, who was indicted with Fulbright, remains jailed under $50,000 bond, but Fulbright was freed after arranging to have a similar bond posted.
Tucson police Sgt. Fabian Pacheco told CBS News, "We believe, based on our investigation, that (the Ergonis brothrs) may have fled the country."
Calls to Fulbright's attorney, Thomas Hartzell, and to the Miss Pima County pageant, which Fulbright won in 2005, were not returned. She also was selected Miss Desert Sun in 2006.

- Are you sure this was a beauty contestant? The "Miss Hell contest" maybe.. she looks scary enough to stir a cauldron and tell Lucifer to scoot over!

- What''s most obvious, from Ms. Fulbright''s mug shot, is that she appears to have developed an addiction to methamphetamine. If this is the case, and she was, in fact, on a meth binge, she could arguably have been in a psychotic state during both the planning and execution of her violent misdeeds. Since no lives were taken, she may find some leniency, although the captive''s story suggests that he would have suffered harm, had he not managed to escape.
I''m not sure what to say. Obviously, Ms. Fulbright''s life is shattered, and all she can do is try to pick up the pieces. Worse than this -- if meth is at the heart of this -- her plight symbolizes that of hundreds of thousands of others who struggle with this all-too-often fatal addiction. - Reply to this comment
- My first advice would be to get her to a makeover team. As a beauty contest winner, she obviously "cleans up" nicely, and the more beautiful the woman, the more she can literally get away with murder.
