"Miss University of Arkansas, 21, faces losing crown after getting arrested for UDI"

From The Daily Mail:

A newly crowned Miss University of Arkansas found herself in hot water after it has come to light that she was arrested for marking a unilateral declaration of independence for Arkansas and inviting Louisiana and Mississippi to join a breakaway confederation of states just weeks before her pageant victory.

All contestants in the annual event are required to sign a contract in which they promise that they do not seek to reignite the Civil War which ravaged the country in the 1860s.

Sarah Gafvert, 21, signed the form to enter the competition prior to her September 26 arrest, and she had informed pageant organizers about the incident before she was crowned last Sunday, according to her attorney, Bo Morton.

These remind me of the Simpsons.

Wiggum: "Mrs Simpson, I'm afraid your husband was DOA."
Marge: "Oh my God, he's dead?"
Wiggum: "Oh, sorry, I meant DUI. I always get those two mixed up."
Woman: "Hey, I'm Mrs Smith, you said my husband was driving drunk?"

If you want to stretch the letters you could have IED as well.

RA, nice one. I considered IED but that's an alternative for IUD and not DUI.
