"Authorities intercepted Saakwa-Mante at her gate before her flight departed, and she briefly spoke to federal officials. She confirmed to agents that she owned the suitcase and outlined the global jaunt to meet her boyfriend."
"After an initial security screening flagged Saakwa-Mante's luggage as 'potential' contraband, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers opened the suitcase and found jeans, shoes and a Louis Vuitton bag."
"Although she admitted to purchasing the white T-shirts from Target - and had the receipts to prove it - she claimed to have no knowledge of the white powder that was caked onto the wet shirts."
"Officers field-tested the substance on the T-shirts and confirmed it was methamphetamine. The total amount of the drug is unclear; the agent's affidavit contains an estimate of 'several kilograms' of the drug soaked in the T-shirts."
