A Dallas-based flight attendant has pleaded guilty in a drug smuggling case involving large quantities of fentanyl taped to her body.
In early October, Terese White was flying off-duty when she was arrested in California after a flight from DFW Airport to San Diego International.
Prosecutors say she was then planning to catch a flight to Boston. But in San Diego, TSA agents discovered she had about three pounds of fentanyl taped to her stomach and was trying to use her her company ID to bypass normal security screening.
Pleading guilty to drug possession and intent-to-distribute charges, White faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
