A Jet Blue flight attendant who was a former Jamaican beauty pageant contestant and college track athlete was arrested after she ran from a security checkpoint, leaving behind her Gucci heels and 70 pounds of cocaine, police say.
Marsha Gay Reynolds, 32, turned herself in to federal authorities in New York on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Reynolds ran from the security checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday after she was asked to step aside for a random screening, authorities say.
“Our nation’s security depends on every individual with security clearances to honor the trust placed in them,” U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, Eileen Decker, said in a statement. “The defendant’s conduct violated that trust and, in the process, exposed the public to a major narcotics transaction and the dangers inherent to such a transaction. The intervention of the Transportation Security Administration and law enforcement ensured the safety of the passengers and staff at LAX.”
Here’s what you need to know:
Police say Marsha Gay Reynolds was asked to go to a secondary screening area. When she did, she dropped her bag, took off her heels and ran barefoot down an upward-moving escalator, the Associated Press reports.
TSA agents did not chase Reynolds because they feared her bag may have contained explosives. A dog was brought to screen the bag.
According to the affidavit filed by investigators, Reynolds was wearing jeans, heels and a black suit jacket, while carrying her “known crew member badge” when she arrived at the Terminal 4 security area.

became nervous and took out a cell phone, making a call and speaking in a foreign language, a TSA officer said. She then ran, according to the affidavit.
Agents “did not attempt to pursue Reynolds, as his primary concern was the abandoned luggage that Reynolds left behind, and the public safety issue that it potentially presented,” according to the complaint.
