The alleged party pal of Prince Harry - who claimed they had a 'naked drunken fumble' in Las Vegas - has been arrested for writing bad checks as she tried to board a plane to Mexico.

Carrie Lynn Reichert, 40, from San Diego, has been wanted in Harrison County, Mississippi, for writing checks totaling $21,672 starting in August 2003, according to the New York Daily News.

A source told the paper: 'Customs matched her up at the airport. She was fixing to go out of the country, but we had them snatch her up. She didn’t get to go on her little weekend adventure.

'How stupid can you be? You know you’ve got warrants on bad checks you’ve written. After 9/11, you know we’re checking everyone on every flight.'

Instead, she said, Harry was a 'gentleman' but added he was completely 'wasted'. She is now being held in a California detention center where she is listed as being 5-feet 7-inches tall, 120 pounds and 40-years-old. She told The People she was 32. A St James’s Palace spokesman flatly denied the girl’s claims. Papers: Carrie Lynn Reichert's arrest documents which reveal she is 40-years-old, left, not 32, as she previously claimed Shame: Prince Harry, pictured here at the WellChild awards ceremony in London, has been in damage control since the photographs were published The spa-owner, who had been visiting from San Diego with a group of girlfriends, claims she was hand-picked to join the Prince's party after his friends spotted her near the swimming pool at the Encore At Wynn hotel, it was reported. The British-born beauty said she was approached by one of the Prince's entourage who invited her to party with them in his penthouse. She told The People: 'I'm not going to pass an opportunity to party with Prince Harry.' When she got upstairs, she said, the party was in 'full swing' with guests - and Harry - already naked. She added: 'Harry was already undressed. It was just crazy, he looked actually delirious. There was a pool table and he was playing air guitar with pool sticks.' Carrie said Harry took her by the hand and led her from the living room to his bedroom soon after introducing herself to him. Harry was already naked and she removed her dress to reveal a string bikini before she kissed him, she said. The pair then had a conversation about her childhood links with Britain before enjoying a 'drunken fumble'. She added: 'We kissed for 15 to 20 minutes. I am sure someone stumbled in as there were people going in and out of rooms all the time. We kissed again and he said "That was great".'

Carrie said they then both rejoined the party in the living room and carried on drinking until she went back to her hotel room.

Harry was photographed on a mobile phone in just a necklace with a naked female playmate hiding behind him having played a game of strip pool in his VIP Las Vegas suite.

Another showed him giving the same topless woman a naked bear hug, which have since been seen by tens of millions across the world.

As well as the embarrassment, it did raise security fears about how well the prince was protected on his Vegas trip.

Despite Met sources saying that there was no security breach and that officers were not there to protect his reputation, it is believed two of Harry’s most high-ranking personal protection officers have already been interviewed by their bosses back in London.

They were accused of watching him being photographed playing ‘strip billiards’ in his Las Vegas hotel suite but failed to take any action.
