Federal officials say an elderly woman was caught trying to smuggle four pounds of cocaine into JFK International Airport inside of her girdle and underwear earlier this month. 

The Associated Press reports that Customs and Borders officers took note of how uncomfortable Olive Fowler, 70, appeared at the Queens, N.Y. airport back on Apr. 12. After authorities took her to a private room, they figured out why: she had coke secured to her nether regions. According to the Associated Press, the drugs are worth and estimated $73,000 on the street. 

Fowler was arrested on drug smuggling charges. This crime, or similar ones, seem to happen at JFK International on a semi-monthly schedule.
