Gigi Hadid has been arrested after marijuana was found in her bags upon her arrival to the Cayman Islands on July 10, according to Cayman Marl Road.
Hadid has been charged with pot possession and drug paraphernalia.
After arriving at Owen Roberts International Airport via private jet, Gigi went through customs with her belongings, where Customs & Border Control agents scanned her bags. What was seen in the scan prompted the agents to search the model’s luggage by hand, where they found a small quantity of weed along with smoking utensils, reports the Cayman Marl Road.
Gigi and the friend traveling with her were arrested on charges of possessing marijuana and importation of utensils to smoke cannabis.
Hadid was taken to the Royal Cayman Islands Detention Center, and reportedly fined $1,000. The Cayman Marl Road adds there is no conviction on her record at this time. She has been released on bail. Prosecution of her case is pending.
A rep for Hadid told E! News "Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license."
"It has also been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017. Her record remains clear and she enjoyed the rest of her time on the island," the statement continued.
According to the Cayman Marl Road, cannabis is illegal in the Cayman Islands, however the use of prescription CDB oil is allowed.
Tuesday afternoon, the supermodel posted a series of Instagram videos and photos of herself enjoying the crystal clear waters of the Cayman Islands with the caption, "All's well that ends well."
