A JetBlue flight attendant accused of trying to sneak a suitcase full of cocaine through Los Angeles International Airport and making a dramatic dash to escape has been ordered returned to California.
US District Judge Andrew Birotte Jr in Los Angeles issued the order Thursday after prosecutors appealed a New York City jurist’s decision to free Marsha Gay Reynolds on $500,000 bail.
Birotte directed US marshals to transport the Jamaica-born Reynolds, 31, to Los Angeles. She appeared in Brooklyn federal court Friday afternoon.
Reynolds, a US citizen and resident of Queens, is a former Jamaican beauty queen and New York University track athlete. She surrendered in New York on Wednesday.
Authorities said they found 70 pounds of cocaine in her luggage at LAX on March 18 after she was flagged for a random security screening, flung off her high heels and bolted barefoot down an upward-moving escalator. They said she ran out of the terminal and made her way to New York.

Birotte decided she should remain in custody while being transported to an April 7 hearing in Los Angeles.
Allan Jennings, a spokesman for Reynolds’ legal team, said defense lawyers were not invited to appear before Birotte before he issued his order late Thursday in Los Angeles.
“It was grossly unfair for him to sign an order without giving her an opportunity to be heard,” he said.
As a former US attorney, Birotte has some experience with the subject of drug smuggling at LAX.
In 2012, he announced the arrests of two one-time Transportation Security Administration employees on drug trafficking and bribery charges. The indictment in a case brought against seven individuals described five incidents when TSA employees accepted payments of up to $2,400 to give drug couriers access at LAX over a six-month period in 2011.
“The allegations in this case describe a significant breakdown of the screening system through the conduct of individuals who placed greed above the nation’s security needs,” Birotte said at the time.

Anonymous and Us…..,, United State Of America can revoke your citizenship, she wasn’t born here. She will get deported after she does her time.
NO she won’t! nuff Jamaican born and naturalized do feds time and the government can’t put them out! That is fact! anybody get deported never know them rights or didn’t have their certificate to show, and this happens to those here from late 60s-70s and cannot produce the certificates. Many records are sitting in bankers box and lazy workers didn’t bother to scan them into the system so as far as INS concern they haven’t any certificates, not to mention those who don’t know that their parents were naturalized before they turned 18.
It don’t work that . Only if she commit a crime against America or is she lie fi get it meaning on the paper works
She will not get deported. Google before spilling out nonsense. https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartL-Chapter2.html

Kim not this case
Kim….as it stands, only an act of treason will get your citizenship revoked. Smuggling has yet to be defined as an act of treason. Club Fed for her even if she sings like Celine.
“Because citizenship is such a precious right, it cannot be taken away unless the government is able to meet a high burden of proof… Accordingly, a case should only be referred for denaturalization where there is objective evidence to establish that the individual was not eligible for naturalization, or procured naturalization by willful concealment or material misrepresentation.”
IN HER CASE SHE WILL BE FINE
Look at all of the American citizen felons who remained citizens. Felony convictions is not a grounds for revocation of citizenship. Consider José Padilla — he wanted to set off a dirty bomb and kill a bunch of people in the name of Al Quaeda. Still a citizen.
Kmt if murderers can’t get deported how she gonna get deported? Lmao pls do your reaserch she is a citizen
Kim she can’t get deported when you become a citizen you don’t belong to the country you were born anymore , you belong to America full stop . Google is free for everyone to use check it out every now and then you will learn all that you’re lack of
Oh please! You guys really think Marsha is just a mule? Marsha is the plug. Marsha is a key (no pun intended) player in this game. Notice she ran home to go clear coast. No social media, she can delete social media from anywhere in the world. She ran home to go stash her millions.

Yuh too FASSSSSSSSSS
weh dat haffi do wid anything ?
She’s not gonna get deported but my god that felony record smh she should a run go bk a her yard (Jamaica)fe true.cause life in America finish…at least a legal one
If she is not a citizen of United States, she will be deported. However, if she is a citizen, she will do her time and be released. Dem nah go revoke no citizenship and deport har because she no charge fi treason omg.
That’s not true there’s alot of opportunity for people with a felony all you have is a record any body can change their life around and she’s not a dunce look up the facts.
If she is not strong, that felony record going to lead her straight back in the life of crime. She will struggle immensely when she tries to get a good job. But I am only sorry about the disgrace she brought upon her family; me nuh sorry fi har one rass. Them fi live within their means. I hope you have house, land, car, bike, truck, every bombo fi show fi dem risk that you have been taking because I dont believe it is your first trip for real. These nasty dog shit called drug dealers aka hustlers have these stupid, gullible, dumb shits carrying their merchandise and have their wives and right women living like queens and not associated with that shit at all. These dummies swear that they are loved by these heartless niggas because they might give them a ten grand or so from the proceeds. The street value was approximately 3 million, you think she a get more than 20 grand max? No…I hope him help har and dont mek har mother lose har house but guess what that f**ker is going to be looking at the loss…dog shit dem.
