Coca-Cola heir, friends held in St Kitts for cannabis plants

Coca-Cola heir Alki David and his billionaire business partner Chase Ergen have been arrested in St Kitts after landing a private jet carrying cannabis plants worth US$1.3 million. David and Ergen were accompanied by actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his family on the private jet.

According to an article in the Daily Mail Online, the trio was held with 5,000 cannabis plants. Although the Cannabis Bill in St Kitts and Nevis is set to be passed sometime this year, it is not law as yet.
