Kiana Howell and her cohort Makeeba Graham were arrested Sunday morning at New York’s JFK International Airport, when customs officials discovered more than two pounds of cocaine that had been secured in to their hair weaves, reportsThe Daily Caller.
The women had just arrived from Georgetown, Guyana, and according to officials, they were fidgeting and appeared uneasy as they approached the airport’s
customs checkpoint. As the pair were patted down by customs officials, the officers allegedly felt bulges in their heads.
When asked to remove the weave, Howell said that she could not “because she had a package that was sewn in to it.” The woman then informed the customs officials that she did not know what was in there but that it had been secured to her head and that her Guyanese boyfriend “told her to bring that package under her hair weave to the United States for him.” The young woman also informed the officials that she had been promised $7,500 to “smuggle the package under her hair weave.”
Howell then had to be escorted to a medical facility, where her weave was dismantled. Reportedly, the young woman was carrying 996 grams of cocaine in her weave.
According to an affidavit sworn by Department of Homeland Security Agent Jeffrey Fidler, Graham also “had an unusually high and bulky hair style.” After a CBP agent “felt a hard object on the defendant’s head,” Graham, a 33-year-old Harlem resident, was “asked to remove her hair weave.” Graham informed the customs officers that her hair had been sewn to her head as well so she could not remove it. Like Howell, Graham was then taken to the medical facility where her weave was dismantled. Officials discovered that she had been harboring another 1,046 grams of the drug in her weave.
The powdered cocaine, which was camouflaged by Howell’s and Graham’s weaves, was reportedly wrapped in tight miniscule plastic packages and neatly affixed to the fake hair on each of the women’s scalps.
Howell and Graham were named Monday in separate felony criminal complaints, charging them with narcotics smuggling. Graham was freed on $100,000 bond, while Howell remains in custody in advance of a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday afternoon. [source]
I guess it was only a matter of time before you jaggle-headed hookers decided to use your weaves for evil other than… well, the evil of them existing in the first damn place.
WHo the hell tries to move weight on their person these days ANYway!? What happened to putting small amounts in packages of coffee or those fake cans of shaving cream n other beauty products?
That’s way I used to heard how some degenerates bring my their weed along on plane trips when I they traveled for business back in the day.

"her Guyanese boyfriend “told her to bring that package under her hair weave to the United States for him.”"
Jesus be some working brains, common sense, ANYTHING…
Also, a whole kilogram on your effin head and you "thought" it would go unnoticed?!?
Jonesy, they rarely recruit the best and brightest for drug mule work.
JONESEEEYYYYYY!
Graham informed the customs officers that her hair had been sewn to her head as well so she could not remove it.
*shudders* Ew ew ew ew ew
Sew, who did the weaving I wonder?
I can't imagine walking into my hair salon and telling my stylist to affix a KG of illegal narcotics to my scalp and then braid around it, topping it all off with a Kankleon sew in.
I'm surprised they're not Jamaican. I know I sound like I'm slandering my nation-kin, but it's true – idiots are forever leaving here with coke and ganja like they're bringing roast fish to relatives overseas. And have the nerve to bawl when their asses get caught.
Who gave "MaKeeba" her damn name? Joseline from Love and Hip Hop?
I have a friend named Makeeba that lives in ATL right now…she's from Alabama though, not Africa
Next they'll be smuggling crack in their merkins
They could have at least been smart enough to have an elaborate style, a big crown of hair, SOMETHING where lumps would not have been an issue. If they had lined it with Jolly Ranchers and skittles, they wouldn't have been caught! Well maybe if they hadn't been shifty as hell, either, LOL!
Ummm maybe something like this?

These dudes set them chicks up for the Okie Doke and they just went right along with it. If you stupid enough to do it, you deserve the consequences

I hope this doesn't mean they're going to be feeling up peoples heads now. Soo, we're all going to have to strip naked and have rectal exams to board a freaking plan. Heck, to enter a damned airport door.
I will keep on exploring the world via the internet if it ever comes to that.
Oh they've already started. I got my hair checked at the security checkpoint down here in Hobby Airport in Houston, Tex-ASS… -_-
OMG! Seriously? I do get that the airport folks need to ensure our safety (because of those previous fuktards who've ruined flying for us) but there has to be a limit. Huh, I guess all limits are expendable when you have people smuggling in their weaves or throwing bombs in their underwear. SMH.
