| Flight Attendant Who Left Suitcases Full Of Coke At Airport Turns Herself In |
| 2016-03-24 |
| The flight attendant who dropped two suitcases full of cocaine at Los Angeles International Airport -- along with her Gucci shoes -- before fleeing in panic turned herself in to authorities in New York on Wednesday, sources said. Marsha Gay Reynolds was arrested by Drug Enforcement Administration agents, sources said. The JetBlue flight attendant, a former beauty pageant contestant, was randomly stopped last Friday at a checkpoint for airline workers. She kicked off her Gucci heels, dropped the drugs and bolted, according to sources. She then boarded a flight to New York and went to her Queens apartment before holing up in the Hilton Hotel near JFK Airport, the sources said. The nearly 70 pounds of cocaine found stashed in her suitcases was estimated to be worth $2 million. During the LAX incident, Reynolds was escorted to the front of the screening area and apparently became alarmed when she realized she'd be caught. After walking about 15 feet with her carry-on bags, the former NYU track star threw them down and made a run for it, leaving behind the dope. "She kicked her high heels off and left her shoes and bag behind," said Marshall McClain of the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association. "She knew if she dropped both of them, she'd be able to run away more quickly," he explained. She could probably walk and get away from most of them. "She was then able to high-foot it out of the terminal, down an Los Angeles on Wednesday. In her bags, TSA agents found clothes, Trojan Magnum condoms and 68.49 pounds of cocaine wrapped in green saran wrap and labeled "BIG Ranch," cops said. She also left behind her leather, size-8½ Gucci shoes. But because TSA agents did not get her name, Reynolds may have been able to board her red-eye flight to LaGuardia on Friday night. After being apprehended in New York, she was charged in a criminal complaint filed in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Reynolds is listed as a member of NYU's 2004 women's track and field team, according to the school's website. That may come in handy depending on who's chasing her in the prison exercise yard. She was also a runner-up in the 2007 Miss Jamaica Universe pageant, according to the Jamaica Gleaner. Aaaand that'll probably make her popular in the jailhouse boom-boom room. Reynolds was awaiting arraignment at Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday night. |

| #3 The pitfalls of being a drug mule. My guess is the cartel bosses won't take kindly to her "bad parenting" of the shipment. Bet she turned herself in fearing a Vince Foster/Ron Brown type of ending.. |
