The airline employee who allegedly tried to smuggle nearly 70 pounds of cocaine onto a plane has been arrested in New York City, a spokesman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency said.DEA agents say Marsha Gay Reynolds surrendered to authorities at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Wednesday.

Reynolds was pulled aside on March 18 for a random screening at Los Angeles International Airport when a Transportation Security Administration officer noticed Reynolds becoming nervous. She then pulled out her phone and made a cell phone call in a language the officer didn’t understand, FBI Special Agency Trayvon Barnes wrote in an affidavit.

When she was being escorted to a secondary screening area, Reynolds remained on the phone and then took off her shoes, dropped her bags and ran down an up escalator, Barnes wrote.

A responding airport police officer couldn’t find Reynolds, but the bags were inspected and the drugs were found.

In Reynolds’ two carry-on bags, investigators found about 68 1/2 pounds of cocaine in 11 packages individually wrapped in green cellophane, according to the complaint.

Each was labeled “BIG Ranch.”

Reynolds was apparently a contestant in the 2008 Miss Jamaica World pageant. She came in second runner-up, according to a photo posted of the finalists.

 “I’m still trying to let that one soak in,” said Sgt. Gary B. Gross, the Lakeland Police Department’s public information officer.

Samuel Alicea, 35, of Lakeland, entered the building at 7:44 a.m. and went to the public restroom located in the police department’s lobby. One of the officers at the front desk heard a loud “thump” sound coming from the restroom, police said. The officers, concerned for Alicea’s safety, knocked on the door several times and yelled out for a reply, but there was no response.

Officers used a key to gain entry and discovered Alicea lying on the ground unconscious and unresponsive. The officer said he observed several personal items of Alicea on the sink, which included measuring spoons, small plastic baggies commonly used to store drugs and a syringe. Alicea was bleeding from the arm and it appeared he had just injected himself, police said.

Alicea was transported to Lakeland Regional Health.

Former Aide To President Richard Nixon Admits That “War On Drugs” Specifically Targeted Blacks

Richard Nixon’s Former Aide Reveals The Truth Behind The “War On Drugs” 

Harper’s Magazine writer Dan Baum has shared with the world the purpose behind the infamous “War On Drugs” that became popular in the 1970’s under President Richard “Tricky Dick” Nixon.

Nixon’s invention of the war on drugs as a political tool was cynical, but every president since — Democrat and Republican alike — has found it equally useful for one reason or another. Meanwhile, the growing cost of the drug war is now impossible to ignore: billions of dollars wasted, bloodshed in Latin America and on the streets of our own cities, and millions of lives destroyed by draconian punishment that doesn’t end at the prison gate; one of every eight black men has been disenfranchised because of a felony conviction.
