"Stupid" but not a Smuggler
- A British woman allegedly caught carrying more than 90 pounds of
cocaine in her luggage at O’Hare International Airport is “stupid,” but
she’s not a drug smuggler, according to her father.
John Hall told reporters in the UK that a couple of men promised his 28-year-old daughter, Kim, a free vacation in Cancun if she traveled home with two suitcases they had packed for her. They allegedly told Kim that each suitcase contained $250,000 cash, but they actually contained about $4.5 million worth of cocaine.
Homeland security investigators intercepted her luggage and arrested Hall in August as she tried to make a connecting flight home to Manchester, England, according to court records.
Hall’s father told a British paper that his daughter met two men claiming to be Mexican real estate developers while on vacation in Portugal, and they offered her a free getaway in exchange for her willingness to take two suitcases back home from Cancun.
Gotta admit, that sounds pretty stupid.
Hilariously, the judge refused to keep her in custody and ordered an ankle monitor. At the same time, the judge ordered her passport confiscated so she couldn't leave town. According to County policy, ankle monitors can only be issued to those with a fixed address, which a British citizen doesn't usually have, meaning she's been in custody at the jail since her August arrest.
Perhaps the judge is the stupid one here?

I didn't know that show "Locked Up Abroad " was filming in Chicago. This person seems every bit as stupid as the people they profile on that show.
No tea and crumpets at 26th and California.
Methinks this smells of stinky Stilton Cheese from Derbyshire.
Judge knows what they're doing. Gets to look and feel good offering poor stupid woman ankle monitor. Sheriff is "bad guy" keeping her behind bars for no address.
Plus, it's justification for more homeless shelters because no one should be locked up for not having an address.
Daughter is stupid as the father. Just what you call a person carrying millions in illegal drugs over border. Try smuggler.
All of these savage Chi=town criminals let out to rape, plunder and kill again (whilst wearing an EM) and they keep this woman in county tor 4 months so far. Smuggling charge nonwithstanding. She is innocent UNTIL proven guilty.
She gets another free vacation at the Greybar Hotel.
She sounds like she would be a good Democrat.
Someone is also going to want their $9mil in blow back.
How could that be possible, only the brightest are appointed to the bench in Crooked Cook County.
Her excuse is a typical “Cook County” explanation it’s other version is “but officer these are not my pants, they are my brothers”.
Just think of the new friends she can make at her new digs! Let’s see what the ladies can talk this little sweetie into.
Another reason to voye NO on all judges this election.
Intelligence and knowledge of the law are not a prerequisite for a Cook County judge.
Do dumb shit get treated like a dumb ass
So the feds stop her but she gets prosecuted by Cook County and not the feds
Has she registered to vote yet?
Retired,
The perp from UK doesn't vote here. The Chi-town crew do. It's all about the ballots.
There's a reason they ask you if you packed your own bags at the airport. And no doubt she answered yes. She thought she was smuggling cash and was fine with that. Surprise!
Since DHS was involved, and the weight, why didn't the DEA take the case?
maybe she can say the arrest was racist ???
They still might.
Always someone else’s fault. Come on dad you got a real live criminal in the family.
what? cook county prosecutes??? oh, she must not be black
jduge is a dumb fk keep that beotch in jail
