Lisette Lee, a Californian socialite and possible heir to the Samsung Electronics fortune was arrested after police discovered 506 pounds of marijuana stashed in 13 suitcases on Monday, June 13.

 

Lee was traveling in her private plane and alleged that she didn’t know the suitcases were full of weed. Lisette Lee was arrested along her bodyguard and two personal assistants.
 
Despite her claims, it seems officers found three cell phones, cocaine and pot inside her bag as well as drug paraphernalia, along with a ledger that showed profits in excess of $300,000.   She said she was traveling to see her boyfriend.

 
Lee was charged with conspiracy and possession of drugs with the intent to distribute. Her attorneys, Bill Meeks and Dave Thomas, did not return a message left on Wednesday. She was being held without bail, pending a Friday hearing.
 
Lee told investigators that she chartered the plane from Van Nuys, Calif., to Columbus to visit a boyfriend and transport equipment to a horse farm. She said it was her fourth such trip.
 
She said a friend paid her $60,000 to take more than a dozen suitcases from Los Angeles to an unattended hotel room in Columbus, stay for a few days and then bring back fewer pieces of luggage, authorities said.
 
Lee later told investigators that she and her entourage knew the horse story was phony and that they were likely involved with “weapons and money laundering or something,” authorities reported.
