JetBlue Flight Attendant Pleads Not Guilty To Cocaine Charge

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A JetBlue flight attendant accused of trying to sneak a suitcase full of cocaine through Los Angeles International Airport has pleaded not guilty to a federal charge.

City News Service says Marsha Gay Reynolds entered the plea Friday to possessing cocaine with intent to distribute.

Authorities say during a random security screening at LAX in March, the former Jamaican beauty queen left her carry-on luggage, kicked off her Gucci high heels and bolted down an upward-moving escalator.

Authorities found about 70 pounds of cocaine in her luggage.

Reynolds, who lives in Queens, later surrendered in New York.

If convicted, she faces 10 years in prison.
