Coke Mule Caught

(Boston, Massachusetts) A 21-year-old woman from New Jersey, Luisa Y. Gill, was arrested last week for allegedly muling 50 cocaine-filled condoms into the U.S.

Gill faces a charge of cocaine trafficking.

The suspected drug mule was nabbed after getting off a JetBlue [JBLU] flight from the Dominican Republic.

U.S. Customs officers questioned her and found her answers suspicious, according to state police.

State troopers and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force agents said Gill admitted to being a drug courier and swallowing the pellets of pressed coke. The estimated street value of the drugs is $50,000, investigators said.

Gill was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where doctors administered laxatives to expedite the removal of the pellets from her system, authorities said.

Gill was booked in to custody with bail set at $200,000.
