Supermodel Gigi Hadid has been arrested on a drug charge in the Cayman Islands.
The former Victoria’s Secret model was visiting the tropical islands as part of a girls’ trip last week when Customs & Border Control agents found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in her suitcases.
People magazine reported the 28-year-old was arrested and fined CI$1000 ($1911) after her bags were put through a security scanner and searched by security personnel revealing “ganja and utensils used for the consumption of ganja”.
Cayman Marl Road, a local news outlet on the Islands, reported the amount of drugs found “were relatively small and were seemingly for personal consumption”, however Hadid and her friend Leah Nicole McCarthy – who was also found in possession of drugs – were both arrested and transported to the Prisoner Detention Centre.
People magazine reported the two were released on bail and two days later, on July 12, they appeared in a Summary Court, where they plead guilty resulting in a $1000 fine and no conviction.
