Officials announced this week that a California woman was accused of trying to smuggle 151 pounds of marijuana onto international flights.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Airport security marked the four roller bags of Balavan as it looked unusually heavy. Inside, they reportedly found 131 vacuum-sealed sacks.
In addition to marijuana, authorities have claimed to have grabbed Baravang's cell phone, boarding pass and $960 in cash.

Barravan was charged with theft and illegal transportation of marijuana, but was released after bail.
Her initial arraignment in court is scheduled to take place on June 2.
San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe told Fox News Numbers that it is unusual for my office to carry out marijuana transportation cases through airports involving marijuana, noting that U.S. attorneys have equal jurisdiction in such cases.
"They tend to take big guys and we get smaller ones," Wagstaff continued. "So that's a big part of what we're going to deal with. But we're happy to sue anything the federal authorities have left for us."

According to the Chronicle, the district attorney's office noted that further details of the case will be made public after the suspect appears in court, according to the Chronicle.
In recent months, Barravan’s case is not the only case of similarity that has come out of California or San Francisco International Airport.
