Ingrid Parewijck is a Belgium-born model who made headlines in July 2004 when she was arrested at John F. Kennedy Airport in Queens, New York City for possession of three bags of cocaine. She had one plastic package in her right front pants pocket and two more in her brown leather handbag, according to the criminal complaint.[1]
At the airport, Parewijck, who has been featured on the covers of Vogue, ELLE and Photo magazines, was returning from France. She faced a sentence of up to 15 years in prison, but was ordered to rehab and given no custodial sentence.[2]
Advocacy groups complained about the lenient sentence meted out in comparison with the typical sentencing protocol.[3]
She was represented by NEXT Model Management at the time.[4]
