Frank Lee Grigsby, 36, of Baton Rouge got on a Continental Airlines flight to New Orleans on Sept. 23 after paying extra cash for a first-class seat.

Problem was, Transportation Security Administration agents noticed something suspicious in his luggage. They found seven individually wrapped bricks of Marijuana worth $35,000 tucked into speaker boxes in his bag, along with several grow lights, said Karen Guidotti, a San Mateo County assistant district attorney.

Grigbsy told authorities that the pot was from a Sacramento man and that he was on his way back to Baton Rouge to smoke it, Guidotti said. He also had plans to sell it to his "friends in the rap industry," the prosecutor said.

Grigsby acknowledged that he used to have the Marijuana sent through the mail but "kept getting ripped off, so he made a personal pick-up," Guidotti said.

On Tuesday, Grigsby pleaded no contest to possession of Marijuana for sale. Judge Susan Etezadi ordered him to register as a narcotics offender. Though he didn't get any air miles with Continental, he did get 81 days of credit for time served.
