A career Bronx drug criminal on his way to the Caribbean made a rookie mistake when he packed enough drugs in his checked luggage to get the whole plane high, sources told The Post on Sunday.
“This just shows you how stupid criminals can be,” a law-enforcement source said. “You would have thought that a man of his experience would have known how this works.”
The tropical trip of Kelvin Smith went up in smoke when Port Authority police pulled him from his US Airways plane Saturday morning.
Authorities found 18 pounds of pot after an alert went off moments before the flight left La Guardia Airport, notifying them to take a closer look at his luggage. His second bag, which had already cleared the scan, had 2.8 ounces of crack and three ounces of psychedelic mushrooms, the sources said.
Smith admitted to transporting the marijuana, but insisted he didn’t have anything else. “It’s only marijuana.”
