World peace? Maybe not.
A Utah beauty queen and three friends face charges they assembled homemade bottle bombs, launching them at homes and people during a joyride in a Salt Lake City suburb.
Miss Riverton - Kendra McKenzie Gill - was arrested on Saturday morning. Witnesses on Friday night spotted a gray or black sedan cruising neighborhoods as someone inside tossed plastic water bottles out of the window, The Salt Lake City Tribune reported, citing jail records. Frightened neighbors called police following a series of loud explosions.

Authorities later tracked the vehicle to the home of 18-year-old Bryce Stone, a friend of Gill, 18.
It wasn't long before cops booked Gill, Stone, Shanna Smith and John Reagh on felony charges of setting off an incendiary device, KUTV reported.

Targets of the bombing spree included friends and Stone's ex-girlfriend's house.
Authorities said the incident was potentially deadly.
"They're very caustic, very nasty. So they can cause injury to somebody just if the chemicals get on somebody, much less the fragmentation of the shrapnel damage that can be caused," Unified Fire Authority Capt. Clint Mecham said. "They can very easily cause serious harm or even death."
Gill won her crown in June, and it's not yet clear how the charges will affect her pageant future.
