MSP: 3 arrested with 150 pounds of marijuana in luggage at Logan

BOSTON — Three Californians were arrested at Logan airport Saturday morning when Massachusetts State Police say they found 150 pounds of marijuana in their luggage.

Police say they were tipped off by officers in California after the trio's American Airlines flight left Sacramento.

State Troopers watched Jerry McNair, 48, Ladonna Hardman, 57, and Saudia Watson, 37, get off the plane together in Boston and followed them to baggage claim.

After retrieving their bags, police say they asked to look inside. When the three refused searches, police arrested them and filed warrants.

Upon searching the bags, police say they found 50 pounds of cannabis in each bag.

All three were charged with trafficking in marijuana and conspiracy to violate drug laws.

They were set to be arraigned in East Boston District Court Monday morning.
