Officials allegedly found “ganja and utensils used for the consumption of ganja” in the luggage.

Gigi and Leah were arrested on “suspicion [of] Importation of Ganja and Importation of Utensils used for the consumption of ganja.” This all apparently went down on July 10. They were taken to a Prisoner Detention Center and then were released on bail.

They were then charged during a court appearance two days later, and both of them plead guilty to the charges. They were both fined $1,000.

Gigi‘s rep told Just Jared, “Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a Medical license. 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.”
