Arrest

Vidal and her singer boyfriend Kelvin Kwan were arrested in Tokyo on 24 February 2009 over allegations of marijuana possession. Police were summoned when the pair were caught shoplifting in the district of Shibuya and marijuana was subsequently found in a cigarette in their possession. Kwan confessed to the police that it had been given to him by a friend in Hong Kong, while Vidal said that she was not aware it was marijuana. Urine tests later returned positive results for marijuana for Kelvin Kwan; police allegedly found another banned substance in the pair's luggage. Kwan was released without charge after 32 days in jail. Later, local journals reported that Vidal was being held due to heroin being more extreme that marijuana – the unnamed banned substance previously reported to have been found in her luggage was heroin of her own simple possession weighing of 1.36 grams.

On 24 April, Vidal pleaded guilty in Tokyo court to heroin possession, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, suspended for three years. She was deported back to Hong Kong and did not serve prison time
