Police In Puerto Rico Probe Pepper-Spray Dousing Of Beauty Contestant's Evening Gowns. Is it a hoax?

Police in Puerto Rico are probing the incident at the Ms. Puerto Rico competition over the weekend when Ingrid Marie Rivera's gown and make-up were spiked with what is suspected to be pepper spray. Police have the gown and other items at a crime lab. But on NBC Today, reporter Kerry Sanders, said police are investigating, but they can't figure out how Ms. Puerto Rico was able to control her tears from the pepper spray when she had to go on stage. Police say that whenever they've been exposed to pepper spray the effect is lasting, and the tearing is hard to control. How was Ingrid Rivera able to control it? This, of course, begs the question: Did Ms. Puerto Rico make up the story?
