ROMULUS, Mich., Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Former "Baywatch" babe Yasmine Bleeth Friday pleaded innocent to charges of cocaine possession and operating a vehicle under the influence of narcotics.
Bleeth crashed a rental car into a highway median Sept. 12. Police said they found syringes in her purse and cocaine in her car.
Bleeth, 33, had been stranded in suburban Detroit when flights were grounded in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
A search warrant was executed on Bleeth's hotel room Sept. 13. Police said they found cocaine and syringes scattered around the room. Bleeth had been in the Detroit area to visit her boyfriend's parents. She played one of lifeguards on the syndicated television series "Baywatch."
Judge Tina Green released the actress on $10,000 personal recognizance bond and set a hearing for Nov. 30.
