…Local media reports that police found significant quantities of guns and AK-47 assault rifle ammunition at her home.

While in the courtroom where prosecutors requested that she be detained pending trial, Campos chose to remain silent before the judge.
Campos is no longer posting glamour shots and bikini snaps to her 40K Instagram followers. Instead, she’s enduring the tough conditions at the Trinidad Women’s Prison located in Beni, in the northeastern part of Bolivia.
Her boyfriend, Andrés Vásquez, is on the run and wanted for questioning on drug trafficking.
“The boyfriend is being investigated for trafficking in controlled substances and is a fugitive,” said Geraldo Balderas, deputy prosecutor for Beni.
Balderas said that videos found on a mobile phone seized from Campos show her with Vasquez at a number of parties with the illegal weapons seized by police.
The investigation is ongoing.
