Model Jerry Hall, the girlfriend of rock star Mick Jagger, said her arrest in Barbados last week for possession of 20 pounds of marijuana was a “terrible, freak mistake” that occurred when she picked up a package at the airport that wasn’t hers. “I’m sure that it will all be straightened out and the charges dropped,” Hall, 30, told the Associated Press. After spending 21 hours in custody, Hall pleaded innocent at her arraignment and was released on $10,000 bail. “I spent the worst night of my life in jail,” she said. “It was horrible being away from my two darling children.”
