An airline employee is under arrest for allegedly trying to smuggle cocaine from Jamaica to JFK Airport.

Authorities say Hugh Hall, a resident of Jamaica and a crewmember of Fly Jamaica Airways, tried to bring about 9 pounds of cocaine through customs over the weekend.

Hall was taken to a private search room, where officers discovered four packages taped to his legs.

The drugs are estimated to have a street value of $160,000.

He was taken into custody by Homeland Security and is facing federal narcotics smuggling charges.
