Flight attendant flees LAX, leaving nearly 70 pounds of cocaine and Gucci heels in her wake

A flight attendant left behind a few precious valuables after an unceremonious departure from Los Angeles International Airport last Friday night.

Airline crew members are not generally searched, but Transportation Security Administration officers pulled aside one flight attendant that evening for a random screening that ended in a great escape.

Authorities told the Associated Press and NBC Los Angeles this Monday that the flight attendant fled a secondary screening room without explanation.

The woman, who has not been identified, appeared nervous, officers told NBC. After being asked for work identification, she grabbed her bags and bolted.

The luggage was apparently weighing her down, however, as she quickly dropped it along with her Gucci heels and proceeded to run barefoot down an up escalator.
