A 32-year-old flight attendant who fled a security check allegedly leaving behind 68 pounds of cocaine and her Gucci shoes has been arrested in New York on Wednesday March 23, NBC News reports.
Marsha Gay Reynolds, a former Jamaican beauty queen, surrendered in New York and was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in a federal criminal complaint. Court papers did not say what airline employed Reynolds, but a source told NBC News she worked for Jet Blue.
According to NBC News, the suspect went on the lam Friday night after she showed up for a flight out of Los Angeles International Airport and was selected for a random screening.
The attendant who normally would get to bypass bag screening as a crew member — became visibly nervous and made a phone call in a "foreign language," Transportation Security Administration officers told police.
