An elderly woman, described by authorities at JFK Airport as nervous, was found to be carrying four pounds of cocaine in her girdle and underwear.
The U. S. Customs and Border Protection agency says that Olive Fowler, a Guyanese citizen, arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport from Georgetown, Guyana on April 12.
Inspectors noted that she was nervous and escorted her to a private search room.
CBP estimates the cocaine has an estimated street value of more than $73,000.
“This seizure is just another example of our CBP officers being ever vigilant in protecting the United States from the distribution of these illicit drugs,” said Robert E. Perez, Director of CBP’s New York Field Operations.
CBP officers placed Fowler under arrest and turned her over to Homeland Security Investigations.
She now faces federal narcotics smuggling charges and will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the U.S. Eastern District Court of New York.
Mi granny!! I guess medicaid didn’t cover this drugs
Whomever strapped on those 4 pounds of cocaine to this poor soul have no brains. A good Drug mule cannot get nervous has they can spot you from a mile the moment you step off the plane, without even interviewing you. Plus the immigration officers are trained to spot you the moment you walk up to them. Those silly questions they ask you is just to gauge your level of nervousness.
