Colorado teen whose yearbook photo was too sexy is now in trouble with police

18-year-old Sydney Spies, the Colorado teen who gained national attention earlier in 2012 after submitting a photo of herself that was deemed too racy for the Durango High School yearbook, has been arrested along with her mother.

According to The Durango Herald Sydney and her 45-year-old mother Denise "Miki" Spies have both been arrested after police busted a party at the home of Miki Spies, who was home at the time of the party, where "numerous" underage partygoers were drinking alcohol.

Sydney Spies made headlines in January by protesting the omission of a photo she submitted of herself wearing a short yellow skirt with a black shawl that exposed her shoulders and midsection for the high school yearbook. Student editors deemed it too racy.

The story logged more than 1 million hits on The Durango Herald’s website, and, within days, it was picked up by the Huffington Post, ABC News and Denver news stations. It also was published in international newspapers and websites.

Spies and her mother were invited to New York City to appear on the “Today Show,” where Spies called the photo “artistic.”

A few months after the controversy, Spies announced she landed a small role in a forthcoming SyFy channel movie titled “American Horror House.” The movie is scheduled to air on Halloween.
