A 15-year-old girl from Haiti tried to smuggle six and a half pounds of cocaine 
through customs at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Tuesday 
afternoon, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

The girl, who flew in on American Airlines flight 1988 from Port-au-Prince, has 
been charged with trafficking cocaine.

Detectives, who think the girl's parents used her to smuggle the drugs, found 
the cocaine inside three pairs of shoes, said sheriff's spokesman Hugh Graf.

The amount investigators found is equal to about three "kilos."

The girl's identity was not disclosed.
