A former flight attendant from Texas has pleaded guilty to drug trafficking after she attempted to smuggle three pounds of fentanyl at the San Diego International Airport.
According to reports, Terese L. White, admitted in a plea agreement that while she was off-duty, she took a flight from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to San Diego on October 4 before exiting using the “secure area” upon her arrival.
When she then returned to catch another flight out to Boston, Massachusetts, Terese tried to utilize her privileges as an airline staff member to use the “Known Crew Member” queue, hoping that she could avoid being detected with the small packages of drugs that were attached to her abdomen. However, a TSA official requested that she takes the regular screening, which is when she was called in for questioning.
Terese contended that she had been given a “mercury pack” from a co-worker to help assist with her weight loss and stressed that the packages were “not what you think,” but after a thorough investigation, it turned out that the questionable substance was, in fact, fentanyl. Her sentencing has been scheduled for March 24 and she faces up to 20 years in prison.
