Detroit— A federal magistrate judge today released on bond nine people charged with participating in drug-smuggling operations at Detroit Metro Airport.

The nine individuals — eight of whom worked as baggage handlers — were released a day after being arrested in a major drug operation. The operation targeted people who allegedly imported marijuana and cocaine from Jamaica and Houston while working at Detroit Metro Airport.
