It is reported, that about 4 o’clock Sunday morning, Ms Thompson and Mr Berry arrived at the airport for a flight to Guyana.
Their behaviour reportedly aroused suspicion during security screening and they were taken to a hospital.
Ms Berry allegedly expelled 68 capsules containing cocaine.
Mr Thompson expelled 71 capsules.
The combined weight of the capsules is a little more than four pounds.
The total value of the cocaine is $2.6 million.
