Gigi Hadid Released After Being Arrested for Marijuana
Supermodel Gigi Hadid was released on bail after being arrested for marijuana possession in the Cayman Islands. Hadid, 27, was arrested on July 10 after authorities found a small amount of marijuana in her luggage at the Grand Cayman airport.
Hadid’s rep told E! News that she was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in New York City with a medical license. Marijuana has been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017.
Hadid was booked into the Prisoner Detention Center but was released on bail a few hours later. She was scheduled to appear in court on July 12, but the case was dismissed after she accepted responsibility for the offense.
Hadid was fined $1,000 and ordered to pay court costs. She was also given a warning not to bring marijuana into the Cayman Islands again.
In a statement, Hadid said that she was “deeply sorry” for her actions and that she “learned a valuable lesson.” She added that she was “grateful for the opportunity to put this behind me and move on.”
Hadid’s arrest is a reminder that even celebrities are not immune to the law. However, it is also a reminder that marijuana laws can vary from country to country. It is important to be aware of the local laws before traveling.
