PRINCESS ANNE, Md. (AP) - A new campus queen has been named at University of Maryland Eastern Shore after the resignation of the previous title holder amid disorderly conduct and drug charges.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that school officials say Samantha Clarkson assumed her role as Miss UMES on Monday and will serve for the remainder of the term. The rehabilitation psychology major from Upper Marlboro, Md., previously held the title of Miss Senior Class.
Clarkson's predecessor, Porsha Simone Harvey of Newark, Del., resigned last month.
Campus police say Harvey was charged with disorderly conduct after she elbowed an officer who told her to leave a crowded hallway at a dance. When she went to court for a bail review, Princess Anne police say a bailiff found marijuana on Harvey and she was cited.
