Jonathan Rhys Meyers Was On Board a Plane Grounded for Allegedly Carrying 5,000 Cannabis Plants

A private plane that was allegedly carrying 5,000 cannabis plants, along with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his wife Mara Lane, was grounded in the island nation St. Kitts.

The couple, along with Mara‘s mother, were flying with Coca-Cola bottling heir Alki David and billionaire Chase Ergen.

The Daily Mail reports that the private plane was filled with wall-to-wall cannabis, totaling at around $1.3 million in product. David was traveling to the island in the Caribbean to “develop legal cannabis businesses in the region.”

David and Ergen were both arrested at the airport when their negotiations with Prime Minister Timothy Harris broke down.

“Jonathan Rhys Meyers’s mother-in-law and wife were cavity searched. We left the airport after the search but were then arrested after trying to leave the island a few days later,” David told the Daily Mail.
