CHICAGO — A British woman allegedly caught carrying more than 90 pounds of cocaine in her luggage at O’Hare International Airport is “stupid,” but she’s not a drug smuggler, according to her father.

John Hall told reporters in the UK that a couple of men promised his 28-year-old daughter, Kim, a free vacation in Cancun if she traveled home with two suitcases they had packed for her. They allegedly told Kim that each suitcase contained $250,000 cash, but they actually contained about $4.5 million worth of cocaine.

Homeland security investigators intercepted her luggage and arrested Hall in August as she tried to make a connecting flight home to Manchester, England, according to court records.

Hall’s father told a British paper that his daughter met two men claiming to be Mexican real estate developers while on vacation in Portugal, and they offered her a free getaway in exchange for her willingness to take two suitcases back home from Cancun.
