Hall was taken into custody Saturday on federal illegal drug smuggling charges, authorities said. Federal officials said Hall and the other crew members from Fly Jamaica Airways Flight 272 were selected for inspection Saturday at the airport in Queens, N.Y. During pat-downs, Customs and Border Protection agents felt an object around Hall’s leg.
