BOSTON (CBS) – State police arrested a man at Logan Airport Monday night for allegedly trying to smuggle cocaine in his shoes.
Twenty-four-year-old Carlos Lanns of Hamilton, New Jersey, arrived in Boston on a JetBlue flight from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
“Following a joint investigation involving US Customs and Border Protection, troopers and customs officers recovered just over two kilograms of cocaine secreted inside the insoles of various pairs of shoes in the passenger’s checked luggage,” police said in a statement Tuesday.
State police spokesman David Procopio said the insoles were made of cocaine and were hidden inside four pairs of shoes.
Prosecutors said the cocaine has a street value of more than $200,000.
Lanns pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday in East Boston District Court.
He was ordered held on $300,000 bail. If he posts that bail, Lanns must also turn in his passport and submit to GPS monitoring
I thought this was a cocaine bust, not a marijuana bust...
Five or six years before, 9/11, I was flying out of Mo Bay Jamacia and someone from airport security made be sit on a tall chair while they gently removed my shoes one at a time and stuck their nose inside. That seemed odd, to say the least, but maybe this is what they were looking for.
