Cops caught model Gigi Hadid attempting to "import drugs" into the Cayman Islands. She was slapped with an almost four-figure fine after being apprehended by officers last Monday.
Police arrested the 28-year-old supermodel alongside her pal Leah McCarthy on July 10 after the pair arrived via private jet from their homes in America.
Officers searched their luggage when a "small amount" of cannabis was recovered – they were subsequently stopped for "the importation of marijuana and importation of utensils used for the consumption of marijuana".
Appearing in court in the Cayman Islands on July 12, they were charged with the importation of a controlled drug and the importation of a drug utensil, to which they entered guilty pleas.

Gigi and her friend were charged 1,000 Cayman Islands dollars (£920) and no conviction was recorded, authorities said. A representative for Hadid said she was "enjoying" the Islands.
In a statement, Hadid's representative said: "Gigi was travelling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC (New York City) with a medical licence. 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."
