Bella Hadid Pulled Over Minutes Before Adan Banuelos Arrest
More information is coming out about the night Adan Banuelos was arrested in Texas, and the story also involves Bella Hadid. The details come from police records that were later shared by TMZ.
Banuelos, a well-known cowboy and horse trainer, was arrested for public intoxication in Weatherford, Texas, early Saturday morning on January 31. He is 36 years old and has been linked to Bella Hadid on and off for the past two years. The arrest happened not long after reports surfaced that the couple had recently split.
According to the police report obtained by TMZ, officers were already dealing with another situation when Banuelos showed up. Deputies were speaking with Bella, who is 29, at a local spot called Gator’s Cantina after stopping her during a traffic-related incident. While officers were talking to her, Banuelos walked up to the scene.
The officer noted that Banuelos appeared drunk. His speech was slurred, his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. Banuelos told police he followed Bella because she had left her phone inside the bar and he was worried about her safety.
Police also noticed a white truck nearby that was still running. Inside the truck was a dog that Banuelos said belonged to Bella. During the conversation, Banuelos admitted he had been drinking and said he had four beers throughout the day. After failing a sobriety test, officers decided to arrest him to prevent him from driving or hurting himself.
In the report, police listed Bella as Banuelos’ girlfriend, even though rumors had been circulating that the two had broken up weeks earlier. Banuelos claimed he did not drive the truck to the bar and said a friend had driven instead, but he would not give the friend’s name. He told officers he had been home earlier when Bella stopped by briefly and then went back out, which is when he decided to follow her.
At Banuelos’ request, police later released his belongings and the truck to Bella before taking him into custody. Since then, Bella Hadid has been keeping busy and focusing on herself. She has openly talked in the past about dealing with what she called invisible suffering while battling chronic Lyme disease. Lately, she has been putting her energy into work and health.
She is growing her alcohol-free fragrance brand, Orebella, which recently released a new scent called Nightcap. She is also stepping further into acting with a role in the upcoming FX series The Beauty. The show was created by Ryan Murphy and includes actors Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope. This will be Bella’s first major recurring role on television.
Sources say she has been spending time in Los Angeles and New York, focusing on her career after what they describe as a serious relationship with Banuelos began to fall apart. While she has been seen back in Texas recently, people close to the situation say their very different lifestyles made things hard. Her fast-paced modeling and acting career and his life in the rodeo world may have pulled them in opposite directions.
