Did Anyone Happen to Leave Their Cocaine-Stuffed Sneakers at JFK?
No, that isn't Charlie Sheen's shoe closet. Running shoes stuffed with nearly five pounds of cocaine were discovered in an abandoned suitcase left at John F. Kennedy Airport last Thursday, a spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced today.
The luggage had arrived with a flight from the Dominican Republic, and a routine inspection of its contents turned up the coke-stuffed sneakers — an illicit bounty that commands a street value of $107,000. Authorities are currently on the lookout for the shoes' original owner, probably just because they want to return them. Those are some sweet kicks! [NBC New York via Gothamist, photo via CBP]
