AceShowbiz - Jeremy Madix, the brother of "Vanderpump Rules" star Ariana Madix, has been arrested and charged with felony trafficking in cannabis after allegedly being caught with over 100 pounds of marijuana at Orlando International Airport.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Jeremy Madix and an accomplice, Jonah Ahad, were intercepted by Customs and Border Protection agents on February 16 while attempting to board a flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
Upon searching their luggage, agents discovered 113 pounds of cannabis across three suitcases - 76 pounds in Madix's two suitcases and 37 pounds in Ahad's.
Refusing to speak with detectives without a lawyer, both individuals were not arrested at the time. However, Ahad was eventually apprehended in May while Madix was taken into custody on Tuesday, August 13. They now face felony trafficking charges.
Madix, who has appeared on "Vanderpump Rules" with his sister, claimed in March that he had not spoken to Ariana in several months due to his relationship with his fiancee. He expressed hopes for a future reconciliation.
It is unclear why Madix and Ahad were not arrested immediately after the marijuana was discovered in February. The Orange County Sheriff's Office has yet to provide an explanation.
