Does this cocaine make me look fat? Two men on flight caught with $400,000 worth of drug taped to their bodies.

Two airline passengers took the idea of “carry-on” to an extreme on their flight to New York.

The men, on the same Delta Airlines flight, but traveling separately, were arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport last week after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found a combined 23 pounds of cocaine under their clothes in separate searches, authorities said Wednesday. The combined street value of the cocaine was nearly $400,000, authorities said.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Ariel Garcia, a U.S. citizen, and Elvin Montilla-Sosa, of the Dominican Republic, had both arrived in New York from Santo Domingo on April 19 when they were stopped for searches. An agency spokesman said they were not traveling together. In both cases, officers took the men to private search rooms.

Charging documents from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York said officers observed that Garcia was wearing baggy clothes, with “unusual bulging” around his calves.

Officers searching Garcia found about 11 pounds of cocaine, valued at more than $180,000, according to Customs and Border Protection. The packages were taped to his legs, the agency said. Garcia admitted he was being paid about $8,000 to bring the drugs to New York, according to the charging documents.
