Sometimes your day job isn't enough to support your lifestyle, so you might consider other options to get your money up, but your side hustle should never put you at risk of catching a felony charge.
 
Like a JetBlue flight attendant who was arrested on Wednesday, March 23, for casually trying to smuggle almost 70 lbs of cocaine through airport security.
 
31-year-old Marsha Reynolds, from Jamaica, New York apparently approached the "known crew member" check point at LAX airport last Friday, but when she was selected for additional screening, she panicked.
 
Reynolds dropped her luggage, took off her shoes and ran down an upward escalator to get away from TSA officers. Amazingly enough, she got away for awhile, but investigators eventually found 11 packages of cocaine in her bags labeled "BIG ranch."
 
She couldn't stay on the run for too long though, so Reynolds surrendered to the DEA at JFK airport in New York this week. She's heading to court on Thursday and she's facing 10 years to life in prison if convicted. 
 
This isn't really a great look for JetBlue either. The company has issued a statement confirming that they are "cooperating with authorities on their investigation."
