Feds: Woman arrives in Ohio with 506 pounds of pot

COLUMBUS (AP) — Authorities have arrested a California woman they say flew to Ohio on a private jet with 506 pounds of marijuana in 14 suitcases.

Anthony Marotta, an agent with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, says 28-year-old Lisette Lee and three others were arrested at the airport in Columbus on Monday night. They had arrived on a plane chartered from Van Nuys, Calif.

Lee told authorities her companions were her secretary and two bodyguards. Marotta says those three have been released pending possible indictments.

Lee has been charged with conspiracy and possession of drugs with the intent to distribute. She’s in jail without bail pending a Friday hearing.

Authorities say a California charter company tipped off officials when they saw a suspicious amount of luggage.
