Another Arrest for Hampton's "Hometown Hottie"
This makes the third arrest for a model and actress named runner up in Maxim's 2013 "Hometown Hottie" contest.

A Hampton model who was a runner-up in Maxim’s 2013 “Hometown Hottie” competition just added a third arrest to her resume.
Persephanie Lesperance, 25 of 229 Raleigh Way, allegedly failed to pay a cab driver and stole from a Market Basket, according to Seacoast Online. In committing those crimes, Lesperance reportedly also breached bail conditions from an earlier arrest.
She is currently being held without bail.

In January of 2013, Lesperance was named one of 10 final contestants in Maxim Magazine’s “Hometown Hottie” contest.
In an entry video Lesperance said she has “a wicked soft spot for charities, whether I’m help raising [sic] the money or donating it out of pocket, I love to help out in any way I can.”

A few months after the competition, in November of that year, she was one of eight people arrested in a drug sweep and was charged with drug possession and conspiracy to sell heroin.
But that wasn’t Hometown Hottie’s only brush with the law. Lesperance was arrested again in January 2014 and charged with criminal trespass.
She breached bail conditions that mandated her good behavior in both that arrest and her most recent arrest.
