There are many things you can’t wheel into Miami International Airport — overly large shampoo bottles, bear spray, and certain cheeses, to name a few. A woman trying to fly to her London home Monday learned that 65 pounds of marijuana in her suitcase was a no-no, landing her in handcuffs, police say.
Around 4:30 p.m., U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers were conducting routine inspections outside a Virgin Atlantic flight when they selected two bags belonging to Begum Mulazimoglu, 22, an arrest report read.
The luggage, which smelled of marijuana, was brought into a room for authorities to search with Mulazimoglu present. They found 60 bundles of pot, weighing about 65 pounds, along with Apple AirTags.
Mulazimoglu also had more than $1,000 in U.S. and British currency, the report said.
Mulazimoglu was arrested and is facing a charge of illegal drug trafficking. She has since been released from jail.
