Jay Emmanuel-Thomas tried to bring a large quantity of marijuana from Thailand to London but was stopped by customs at the airport.
A decade and a half ago, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was a talented footballer with a contract at Arsenal. He also represented England at the U17 and U19 levels. Throughout his career, he played for several clubs, including Blackpool, Cardiff City, and QPR. However, in recent years, the now 33-year-old forward has fallen into the lower leagues.
With football no longer at the forefront, Emmanuel-Thomas seems to have turned to other ventures, including illegal ones.
The police arrested him at Stansted Airport in London after customs officers discovered suspicious luggage. It turned out that Emmanuel-Thomas was carrying 60 kilograms of marijuana!
The police arrested the footballer, who brought the illegal shipment from Thailand (where he played football a few years ago), along with two women.
