Still wearing dark false eyelashes after a night in the Franklin County jail, a Beverly Hills, Calif., woman accused of bringing 23 bales of marijuana to Columbus faced charges in U.S. District Court yesterday.
Drug Enforcement Administration agents picked up Lisette Lee, 28, at Port Columbus on Monday night after she arrived on a chartered jet from Van Nuys, Calif., with a bodyguard, two assistants and 13 large suitcases.
Inside the suitcases, agents found 506 pounds of marijuana, according to a DEA complaint. The DEA esimated the street value of the drugs to be $500,000.
Lee, reportedly a California socialite, made no statement during her initial appearance in court in Columbus. She wore drab prison clothing, handcuffs, and shackles on her ankles.
She was charged with felony counts of possession of marijuana and conspiracy to distribute marijuana and was returned to jail until a bond hearing at 10 a.m. Friday.
Lee told the DEA that her family is associated with several multimillion-dollar businesses. Internet searches show she has had a small part in a movie called The Doorman .

Lee told the agents that she is a model and a recording artist and was bringing equipment and belongings to a boyfriend who had bought a horse farm in Ohio, the complaint says. She, however, couldn't provide the boyfriend's last name. She said this is the fourth trip to Columbus that she's organized at the request of a friend from California. Each time, she said, the friend gave her 12 to 14 suitcases to bring to Columbus on a charter flight. She would deliver the suitcases to a Columbus hotel room, stay in Columbus for two or three days, then return to the same hotel room and pick up other suitcases before flying back to California.
Maybe she thought the suitcases were, like, full of hay - you know, for the horses?

Someone had to have tipped off the DEA, someone at either the company leasing the jet or whoever was having her act as a mule for the drugs. In either case I will bet that she gets probation at most (female offender discount plus hot looking rich girl discount) so no big deal. Plus this stuff should be legal anyway.

her brilliant evasive maneuver of returning home from Mexico to California by way of Ohio appears to have worked wonderfully.....NOT!
