Jeremy Madix Arrested for Felony Drug Trafficking

Jeremy Madix, brother of 'Vanderpump Rules' star Ariana Madix, was arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle over 100 pounds of cannabis through Orlando International Airport en route to Frankfurt, Germany, on February 16, 2024. Jeremy and an accomplice, Jonah Ahad, were stopped by Customs and Border Protection agents who discovered 64 vacuum-sealed bags of cannabis in Jeremy's suitcases and 31 bags in Ahad's luggage. Both men were charged with felony trafficking in cannabis, facing a minimum of three years in prison and a $25,000 fine if convicted. Jeremy was extradited from California to Florida in July and later released on an $80,000 bail after surrendering his passport. The incident has strained Jeremy's relationship with his sister, Ariana, due to his defense of his fiancée against perceived slights from Ariana.
