Simone Farrow, Swimsuit Model Accused Of Drug Dealing, Arrested In Australia After Skipping Bail

Simone Farrow, an alleged crystal meth dealer, was caught after skipping bail in Australia.

A successful bikini model also accused of international drug dealing was caught in Australia last week.

Simone Farrow, who once posed for Ed Hardy's swimsuit line and was featured in Penthouse magazine, was on the run after skipping out on $150,000 bail that was paid in February by two friends.

The 37-year-old blonde's troubles began in 2009 in Hollywood where Drug Enforcement Administration officials raided her apartment, claiming to find evidence that she masterminded an international crystal meth ring

Australian cops busted the fugitive model again last Wednesday. Farrow's hideout on the Australia's Gold Coast was described as a "cheap hotel" by the Sunday Telegraph.

She was extradited by flight to Sydney where she arrived crying. She told reporters that she was on the lam because her life was in danger.

"The only reason I've done this is because someone was trying to murder me," Farrow said, adding that she's had "relationships with numerous underworld figures."

"I wasn't trying to flee the country at all," she said. "I was trying to protect myself from being killed or harmed."

Authorities claim she used 19 aliases and concealed meth in packages of bath salts that were shipped Down Under from the U.S.

One member of the supposed trafficking network committed suicide in California after being contacted by U.S. investigators, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

Wow she is pretty, but this is messed up. I'm very confused. I bet the jury lets her off. I would have a hard time not doing it. I hope I'm not on the jury.

guess swimsuit model's salary isn't much eh?

The term "SUPER" model is a bit generous. I'd just say booty model. I think Cindy, Linda, Heidi, and Christy would be slightly insulted to be thrown into the same catogory as this skeez.

Has she been to any livestock slaughterhouses lately? Some of them have been known to have labs set up in the back.

A 37 year old swimsuit model? no wonder she sells dope; modelwise she's older than dirt.

What is the world coming to when a super model can't be trusted? She's probably checking the amount of calories in prison food right now.

swimsuit model not super model.....drugs have been a big problem within this industry forever.

Hm. Perhaps she really was in fact running away to save her life. Hope she can prove it. Heh.

No consequences here as usual, any Jane Doe would be in Jail. Oh well. We are all Jane Doe's, except a few of us.

I guess you decided to not read and just comment...she was in jail and paid $150,000 bail. Had this been you...could you come up with $150,000? If so you would be let out as well. The Feds have her house in Hollywood as well....she is screwed, or as you would say, a Jane Doe.

you can't run away from prison.
