Updated

Survivor winner Jenna Morasca has been arrested. Morasca, 37, who is most famous for winning Survivor: The Amazon in 2003, was found unconscious in her SUV in Washington, Pennsylvania, on January 25, TMZ is reporting. Police received a call from a driver in South Strabane that a driver was passed out behind the wheel at a stop sign.

Upon arrival, cops determined she was under the influence, finding her Chevrolet Trax (with custom license plates reading “AMAZON”) still running. They administered Narcan but she woke up on the way to the hospital. When an officer tried to subdue her, the reality star allegedly bit her on the forearm.

There were also “several syringes in a large Ziploc bag in Morasca’s purse,” TMZ reports. She was arrested for possession of narcotics paraphernalia and DUI and will be charged with assaulting a police officer.
