Our favorite supermodel Gigi Hadid had a stroke of bad luck while vacationing. She was arrested for marijuana possession while vacationing on the Cayman Islands last weekend.
The incident occurred after she and a friend arrived on the island via a private plane. Officials discovered marijuana and related paraphernalia in their luggage, leading to their arrest on suspicion of importation of ganja and utensils used for its consumption.
What happened in the Cayman Islands?
On July 10, Gigi Hadid and Leah arrived via private aircraft and touched down at the Owen Roberts International Airport General Aviation Terminal. According to the regulations, a Customs and Border Control Officer checked and processed their luggage.
Authorities suspected the two friends were bringing marijuana into their nation after discovering some items that could be used for cannabis consumption. This led to the arrest of Gigi and Leah.
Arrest and Court Appearance
The Prisoner Detention Center was where Gigi Hadid and her companion were taken. Following their release on bail, Gigi and Leah were held at the Prisoner Detention Center.
Not long after on July 15, they pleaded guilty. They were fined $1,000 each by the court, and thereafter they were subsequently released on bail. Luckily no additional charges were filed against them.
Hadid’s representative responded to the incident by stating that she had legally purchased the marijuana in New York City with a valid medical license.
Additionally, since 2017, Grand Cayman has allowed the use of medical marijuana. The statement aimed to clarify that the model’s actions were within the bounds of the law and that her record remains clean.
