Brandon Davis, one of the two men who re-defined douchiness (I’ll let you figure out who the other is) was detained at the Sydney airport on Saturday morning. His crime? No, he wasn’t held for being a grade-A jerk or being super fug (turns out those are disgusting, but not actually crimes). The heirhead brought more than $10,000 in cash into the country and failed to put it down on his customs form. One can’t help but wonder exactly how this was discovered. From the things I’ve heard about Brandon Davis, I’m going to guess he probably told everyone within hearing distance just how much money he had on him. It’s also pretty surprising that he had more than $42 in his wallet, consider he was supposedly cut off by his family. Guess he either made amends, or his rich friends are helping him out.

Davis was questioned by authorities for over two hours. His Australian model girlfriend got bored and eventually left him at the airport. Sounds like love.

Jetting into Sydney early on Saturday, the grandson of American oil magnate Marvin Davis and former conquest of Paris Hilton is understood to have been unceremoniously detained by Customs officials for having too much money on him.

Loaded with US dollars, the 28-year-old was delayed for more than two hours, while his pin-up girlfriend became increasingly agitated while waiting in the arrivals area. “She was pacing around the whole time, with her mobile phone at her ear, trying to look anonymous,” a witness told The Daily Telegraph. “With her sunglasses on inside, everyone was looking at her.”

A Customs spokesman declined to comment on individual passenger details for privacy reasons yesterday, but said travelers were required to declare if they were carrying more than $10,000 or the equivalent in foreign currency.

After customs let Davis go, he reportedly went to several currency exchange bureaus, cleaning each one out of cash before going on to the next. I’m not sure how much money they tend to carry, but if he had to go to several exchange bureaus, one would think he really was carrying a ton of money. Not only am I super surprised that Brandon Davis has a ton of money to carry, but I’m surprised that even he is dumb enough to carry over $10,000 in cash. The other day I walked home from the grocery store carrying all of $250 in cash for five blocks and I was nervous. If I had over $10,000 in cash laying around, I’m pretty sure I’d bury it in the backyard. Mostly so Brandon Davis couldn’t find it. Which is how I’m guessing he got his hands on whatever money he has.
