Smuggler Busted With Cocaine-Filled Rum Cake At JFK
( 4UMF NEWS ) Smuggler Busted With Cocaine-Filled Rum Cake At JFK:
You can't have your cake and snort it too. The feds arrested the reputed drug courier caught smuggling two rum and coke cakes into the U.S. through Kennedy Airport — cocaine, that is.
Romel Samuels was selected for examination Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers after he stepped off a JetBlue flight from originating in Guyana, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Samuels, 30, was carrying a duty-free bag containing two rum cakes which apparently aroused the officers' suspicion.
"When one of the cakes was cut, CPB officers discovered a white pasty substance," Homeland Security special agent Dan Donahue stated in the complaint.
A field test of the substance determined the filling wasn't whipped cream, but tested positive for cocaine. A total of 1.5 kilos of cocaine was recovered in the two cakes with a street value of about $70,000.
Samuels crumbled like a cheap sponge cake at that point, and admitted that someone had given him the two rum cakes during a stopover in Trinidad and Tobago and asked him to bring the bag to New York.
He told the officers that he assumed there was something illegal inside the cakes but did not think it was drugs, according to the complaint.
Samuels was ordered held without bail Wednesday by a magistrate judge. Defense lawyer James Darrow declined to comment.
