A former Miss Colombia, who took part in the Miss World Contest of 2006, yesterday admitted in court to bringing four cannabis joints into Malta on Saturday.
Standing in the dock wearing jeans and white top and carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag, the 23-year-old beauty, Elizabeth Loaiza Junca, pleaded guilty to simple possession of the drug on arrival at the airport.
She said she worked as a model and did not need a lawyer.
Police Inspector Herman Mula told the court that customs officials stopped and searched her, finding the four joints in her purse.
Magistrate Doreen Clarke jailed her for six months suspended for one year.
