A Mesa Airlines flight attendant from Dallas faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to trying to smuggle Fentanyl
Federal prosecutors say 41-year old Terese L. White attempted to board a plane at San Diego International Airport with over three pounds of Fentanyl taped to her abdomen on October 4th after flying there from Dallas.
The complaint states that she tried to use the “Known Crew Member” queue to board, but was instead randomly selected for regular passenger screening.
A walk-through metal detector and body scanner alerted TSA officers to her abdomen. White told authorities that she was wearing a mercury pack for weight loss.
She faces sentencing in March.
