International supermodel Gigi Hadid faced arrest and a fine in the Cayman Islands after border security agents discovered a small amount of marijuana in her luggage. Following her arrival in the tropical British territory via private plane on July 10, Hadid was promptly released after her arrest. Rolling Stone verified the news and reported that the 28-year-old Hadid paid a fine of US$1,000 (nearly C$1,300). Customs and Border Control agents found ganja and utensils used for the consumption of ganja in Hadid’s luggage, according to Cayman Marl Road, a local news outlet. The amount of marijuana seized was considered relatively small and for personal use. Hadid and her friend Leah Nicole McCarthy were arrested on suspicion of “Importation of Ganja and Importation of Utensils used for the consumption of ganja.” They were transported to the Prisoner Detention Center but were released on bail shortly after. Hadid and McCarthy appeared in court on July 12, paying the $1,000 fine. It’s worth mentioning that there will be no conviction on Hadid’s record, as confirmed by TMZ. Hadid’s representative stated that the model legally purchased the marijuana in New York with a medical license. Medical marijuana has been legal in the Cayman Islands since 2017 and is prescribed to treat pain, nausea from chemotherapy, and other qualifying conditions. Recreational use of cannabis remains illegal. Despite the controversy, Hadid seemed unfazed and continued to share photos and videos from her trip on Instagram, captioning them, “All’s well that ends well.” It seems Hadid, McCarthy, and their friends enjoyed their tropical vacation, making the most of their time despite the brief arrest.
