A Massachusetts woman remained in jail Friday after customs agents at Pittsburgh International Airport said they discovered she was trying to fly overseas with more than 54 pounds of marijuana.

Jetta Monet Corbett, 30, of Brockton, Mass., was set to board a British Airways flight from Pittsburgh to London around 9:40 p.m. Saturday, a criminal complaint said.

Agents discovered 49 vacuum-sealed packages filled with marijuana inside two of Corbett’s hard-sided suitcases, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said Friday. Agents were inspecting bags as they were loaded onto the plane.

Baggage tags linked the suitcases to Corbett, a customs spokesman said.

Field tests confirmed the green, leafy substance customs agents found was marijuana, authorities said.

Customs agents estimated the drugs had a street value of about $240,000 in America. Depending on potency, they could have fetched two to three times more in Europe.

“Anyone considering making a quick buck by carrying bulk marijuana loads for drug trafficking organizations should realize that the consequences you face can be severe,” said James Hindes, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s acting director for the Port of Pittsburgh, in a press release.

Customs agents said they seized more than 1,500 pounds of drugs nationwide in 2024.

Allegheny County Police charged Corbett with drug possession and drug possession with intent to deliver.

She remained in the Allegheny County Jail on Friday and is being held on $25,000 bail.

Corbett’s attorney was not listed Friday in court records.
