Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix‘s brother Jeremy Madix will be allowed out of jail on bond after he pleaded with a judge to let him out until trial, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, a Florida judge signed off on Jeremy, 32, being released after paying an $80,000 bond.
As In Touch previously reported, in February, Jeremy and his friend Jonah Ahad were traveling from the Orlando International Airport in Florida to Germany.
The duo was pulled over by Customs and Border Protection agents. According to court documents obtained by In Touch, authorities found 64 bags of marijuana that weighed over 76 pounds in Jeremy’s suitcases.
The agents said they found another 31 bags of marijuana weighing 37 pounds in Jeremy’s friend’s suitcase.
TMZ reported the two were let go without being arrested on the date in question. Instead, the outlet said Jonah was arrested in May. Jeremy was arrested in July at his home in Oceanside, California, and then flown to Florida for the court hearing.
As we first reported, last week, Jeremy asked the court to let him out and return to California.
His lawyer said, “Mr. Madix is a resident of Oceanside, California where he lives with his fiancé. He has resided in California for over 10 years and has both family and friends there and has a strong family network willing to support him.”
“Mr. Madix is gainfully employed at a vodka distillery and tasting room. He is hard-working, and regularly works 10-12 hour days. Mr. Madix’s job is waiting for him in California, assuming he is able to return to it within a reasonable time period. Mr. Madix is enrolled in college classes at Mira Costa College in Oceanside, California. He is enrolled for classes that start the week of August 19, 2024,” the lawyer added.
Ariana and Jeremy’s mom, Tanya Madix, wrote a letter praising her son’s character in support of his motion for bond. She said, “I am Tanya Madix Jeremy’s mother. He is a wonderful loving son. When he visits he always takes care of any thing I want done at my house. He is a kind person. He is always sure to check in on me.”
