Man Charged With Drug Trafficking After Meth Bust at Logan Airport

An Arizona man traveling from Phoenix to Boston was arraigned Monday after police found close a large quantity of methamphetamine inside his luggage during a search at Logan International Airport.

38-year-old Micah Gibson was arraigned on one count of trafficking more than 200 grams of a drug, according to the office of Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley. Gibson had traveled to Boston on a Delta Air Lines flight before the arrest occurred Sunday morning.

Conley’s office said officials were awaiting Gibson’s arrival. Upon making it to the airport’s Terminal A, an officer spotted Gibson removing his luggage tags in a bathroom near a luggage carousel.

Officers interviewed Gibson and proceeded to search his bags after he delivered “inconsistent” answers. Conley’s office said officers discovered a pound of the drug wrapped in a FedEx package inside Gibson’s bag.

A judge ordered Gibson held on $75,000 bail.
