Ex-tsa Screener Sentenced For Lax Drug Smuggling

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former security screener who helped smuggle drugs through Los Angeles International Airport has been sentenced to more than 6 ½ years in federal prison. Prosecutors say Naral Richardson was sentenced Monday for conspiracy. In his March guilty plea, Richardson acknowledged that he arranged for couriers to carry more than150 pounds of marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints in suitcases.

Three other former TSA screeners and three drug couriers previously received prison terms.Read more on NewsOK.com
