Actress and former Miss Teen Thailand Amayria “Amy” Jacobs and her boyfriend were arrested early Tuesday morning in Bangkok on drug charges, police announced at a press conference.
Amayria, 28, and Poonyawat Hirantecha, 40, were arrested at a house in Sai Mai district at about 12.30am.
Police seized 70 grams of crystal methamphetamine, or “ice”, 16 ecstasy pills and some scales.
Police alleged the couple confessed that they bought the drug from a friend for Bt40,000 per 100 grams and then sold the drug for Bt800 per gram.
They had done so for about a year, they allegedly told police.
It was alleged Amayria was consuming drugs when police raided the house.
Amayria allegedly claimed she used drugs because of stress after a friend invited her to try drugs a year ago.
She said she never personally bought drugs.
