Feds in Massachusetts bust woman for allegedly smuggling cocaine in duty-free alcohol boxes to Boston Logan airport

A woman has been busted by the feds for allegedly smuggling more than eight kilos of cocaine in duty-free alcohol boxes on a flight to Boston Logan airport.

New York woman Stacey Medina Guzman, 24, was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly smuggling 12 bricks of cocaine in duty-free alcohol boxes on a commercial flight from the Dominican Republic to Boston Logan International Airport.

Guzman last month arrived at Logan airport aboard a JetBlue flight from Punta Cana.

When she was going through Customs and Border Protection at the Port of Entry for international flights, Guzman was allegedly carrying a duty-free bag containing two boxes of Chivas Regal alcohol.

“A Border Patrol K-9 screening the duty-free bag alerted agents of the presence of narcotics,” the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney’s office wrote.

“A search of the bag allegedly revealed that the two boxes packaged as Chivas Regal alcohol had been resealed with glue,” the feds wrote. “When cut open, the boxes allegedly contained 12 bricks of cocaine weighing approximately eight kilograms.”
