The flight attendant who fled from LAX – leaving behind Gucci shoes and a whole lot of cocaine – has been arrested in New York.

Marsha Gay Reynolds, 31, of Queens, N.Y., was arrested in New York and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, reports the LA Times.

Police say that Reynolds, who works for Jet Blue, was able to board one of the company’s planes and fly to New York City – where she was arrested.

Reynolds had fled from authorities at LAX after being pulled aside for a random search by TSA on Friday night – leaving behind 70 pounds of cocaine in her luggage and even kicking off her Gucci shoes.

Police believe that Reynolds may have served as a flight attendant the next day – as authorities had not identified her yet, and her presence would not have sounded any alarms to anyone.

Reynolds faces a minimum of 10 years in prison if convicted.
