Glamorous Madison Smyth was allegedly arrested in Spain

An adult model who married an alleged killer has been arrested after being caught with drugs by Spanish police.

Madison Smyth, 20, was held when cops found nearly a kilo of crystal meth and 30 grams of cannabis resin in the car she was driving during an early-hours traffic stop. She married Jonny Smyth, 27, a prisoner who was quizzed over the killing of Belfast man John George who was found dead in Spain last December.

The Northern Irish-born brunette, accompanied by a British female friend, was driving the Audi A5 Cabrio Civil Guard officers pulled over on the N-332 main road near Torrevieja. Police sources revealed they had ordered a thorough inspection of the car after noticing the passengers attempting to conceal something when officers pulled them over.

Both women found themselves in handcuffs, with Madison being held on remand despite insisting she had been receiving death threats from an unknown individual she held responsible for the drugs bust. She endured 10 days locked up before stumping up €20,000 bail to walk free.

A judge in Torrevieja continues to probe her involvement in the narcotics seizure, forcing her to surrender her passport and report to court multiple times monthly under her bail terms.

The arrest, which she has kept under wraps from all except her inner circle, took place on September 8.

The model allegedly hid news of her arrest for weeks

She walked out of prison on September 19 – 10 days after being locked up and four days after her legal team Alicia Grau Cordoba and Francisco Miguel Galiana Botella convinced a judge to grant her freedom upon payment of the hefty bail sum.

Madison, who boasts more than 16,000 Instagram followers, marked her liberation following her nearly two-week enforced social media blackout by striking a pose in a skimpy bikini and telling admirers: “Heard y’ll were hungryyy.”

The model was arrested in Spain

Sources close to the model said she made bizarre allegations after her arrest about a mystery man with a gun approaching her and threatening to harm her family and forcing her to take a bag she was later given to Torrevieja.

She told Spanish officials the man has been making her life hell since her husband was captured and jailed, and showed her photos of her loved ones and her house and the weapon to intimidate her into going to a pick-up point where she was given a large bag she was ordered to take to a second spot by Torrevieja’s beach.

Her rambling claims about how the drugs ended up in her car didn’t prevent her 10-day incarceration.

Madison was with Smyth, from Newtownabbey north of Belfast, when he was held on a European Arrest Warrant at an Airbnb in Braga in northern Portugal on March 25.

She wasn’t accused of any crime and returned to the Costa Blanca where they had been living shortly after he was extradited to Spain the following month.

Suspected killer Smyth, who is protesting his innocence, is one of two people being investigated over the murder of John George.
