American model Gigi Hadid was detained for having marijuana and associated smoking accessories at a UK airport. The 28-year-old model was detained on July 10 after arriving by private jet in the UK's Cayman Islands from the US, according to online tabloid TMZ.

In her bag, the model was discovered to have some marijuana and smoking accessories at the Owen Roberts International Airport's customs inspection. Their bags was checked more carefully after the scan. At that point, police reported finding marijuana and "utensils used for the consumption of ganja." Leah Nicole McCarthy, a friend of the supermodel Gigi, was by her side throughout the arrest.

Gigi and Leah, who are 28 and 29 years old, respectively, have been detained on suspicion of importing marijuana and ganja-related tools. They were both driven to the prisoner detention facility. They were processed before being granted bail and released. Following their court appearances on July 12, both women entered guilty pleas. They avoided a formal conviction and received a $1,000 fine instead.

"Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license," her rep told E! News. "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."

This is not the first time that Gigi has been featured in drug-related news. She was also accused of sniffing cocaine at a Victoria's Secret event in 2015.

On the personal front, Gigi Hadid is allegedly dating Leonardo DiCaprio. The two have been seen together frequently, but they haven't officially confirmed their romance. Prior to that, Gigi was dating singer Zayn Malik.
