Yasmin Van Tongeren, a 25-year-old from Queensland, Australia, was arrested at San Francisco International Airport after security discovered 44 pounds of methamphetamine in her luggage during a random search. Charged with drug trafficking and possession, she claimed to have accepted $10,000 to $15,000 AUD for transporting a suitcase. Authorities suggest she knowingly packed the drugs after switching bags in Los Angeles. The District Attorney highlighted the randomness of her selection, calling it "bad luck," but asserted the prosecution believes they can prove her awareness of the drug transport.
We believe we can prove she did know, and that she had packed it. When a friend... tells you to take this bag, you don't think you're transporting M&Ms.
It's called really bad luck. That's called a bad day... She's in jail right now for that bad luck.
