Former British model Zara Holland was fined $12 000 in seven days or nine months for breaching quarantine.
The woman, who was staying at the Hilton Hotel, just appeared in the District D Magistrates Court charged with breaching quarantine on December 29, 2020 when she was caught at the Grantley Adams International Airport attempting to flee the island.
The fine was imposed by Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes who is sitting at Cane Garden, St Thomas, on Wednesday.
She was quarantined at the Sugar Bay Hotel. She later returned two negative tests.
Holland was released on bail, the sum of which is still to be determined, until the fine is paid. Weekes said if the fine is not paid, a warrant for her arrest will be issued through Interpol. (HLE)
