Federal authorities in South Alabama are seeking to charge singer Rahky and another woman with drug trafficking roughly $3 million worth of cocaine in a highly modified SUV.
On June 2, a Mobile-based agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) filed an affidavit in U.S. District Court, detailing a complaint against Racquelle “Rahky” Marie Dolores Anteola, 34, of Van Nuys, California, and Melissa Dufour, 36, of Miramar, Florida, and seeking to take the two into federal custody.
The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office arrested Racquelle Dolores Anteola, 34, of Van Nuys, California, and Melissa Dufour, 36, of Miramar, Florida, on Thursday morning, June 1, on Interstate 10 in Mobile County, after finding 217 pounds of “suspected” cocaine hidden under the floorboards of the Ford Expedition they were driving.
Anteola, aka Rahky, is a singer and rapper based in Los Angeles, according to her Instagram profile.
