  • A Texas woman detained in Dubai is facing a 2-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine. 
  • The case against Tierra Allen, 29, claims she slandered a car rental company and screamed publicly.
  • Allen has been stuck in Dubai for three months on dubious charges, her UK-based legal advocate said.

Tierra Allen's road home from Dubai may have just gotten more difficult.

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have prohibited the 29-year-old Texas resident from leaving the country since April, when an employee of a rental car company accused her of screaming during an argument. That was a violation of a local public decency law, authorities told Allen.
