Cocaine Found At Airport
KENTUCKY...
A cleaning crew has found more than 14 pounds of cocaine in a bathroom at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Brian Bell says the drugs were discovered Monday, hidden in a pair of sweat pants in a carry-on bag and stashed in a locked bathroom stall. The bathroom is inside the Federal Inspection Services area. There was no identification on the bag. In a news release, customs officials say the presence of customs agents likely scared the person carrying the drugs. The total weight of the seized cocaine is 14.7 pounds. There were no immediate arrests.
