The 35-year-old District woman, federal authorities said, should have known she'd be busted.
Sophia Williams cut quite a figure when she arrived at Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport late Monday night from Montego Bay, Jamaica. Turns out, according to customs officers, she had 2 pounds 9 ounces of cocaine stuffed in her bra.
Authorities said the drugs were split into two packages tucked inside the black bra.
"Narcotics smugglers will go to great lengths to conceal their dangerous drugs, and this is another unique concealment method," James Swanson, Customs and Border Protection port director for the Port of Baltimore, said in a statement. "Unfortunately for her, it wasn't so unique that it fooled our highly trained officers even for a second."
Swanson's statement did not say what charges Williams faces and customs officials did not immediately return phone calls.
