Airport Worker Pleads Guilty To Smuggling Heroin
An airport worker arrested for attempting to traffic several pounds of heroin wrapped as Christmas gifts through Los Angeles International Airport plead guilty Monday to federal charges.
Authorities nabbed 25-year-old James Mitchell Dec. 21, after agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) launched an investigation into the seized heroin, which officials originally found Dec. 10. LAX security discovered “six packages of a suspicious gray brittle concrete-like substance” that gave off a vinegary odor after the luggage was flagged during a security screening. One of the packages, weighing 2.1 pounds, tested positive for heroin, reports CBS Los Angeles.
