Alizah Henry was arrested at the John F. Kennedy Airport over the weekend on charges of drug possession. She claims she was told the contraband was diamonds.

A woman who was busted for smuggling 10 kilos of cocaine to the U.S. from Guyana told authorities she thought the contraband was diamonds, a Brooklyn Federal Court complaint says.

Alizah Henry, a U.S. citizen, was arrested over the weekend at Kennedy Airport after U.S. Customs and Border Protection cops found in her suitcase four bags of white powder labeled β€œChampion Baking Powder” and determined it was drugs.

She said her dad said it was diamonds.
