A woman’s attempt to smuggle 75 pounds of marijuana on a flight from Las Vegas to Dallas ended badly when her suitcase burst open mid-flight. Jennifer Manzanares-Herrera, 25, is now facing drug charges that could land her in prison for up to 20 years.
According to the Dallas Police Department, the suitcase belonged to Manzanares-Herrera and was carrying dozens of vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana. The police received a call from an airline after someone spotted a “large amount of marijuana hidden inside” the suitcase, which had apparently opened up during the flight. It is unclear at what point during the journey the bag gave way, but by the time the flight landed, the situation was impossible to ignore.
