Based on an indictment filed recently in federal court in New York, Dean Stewart was arrested after allegedly attempting to sneak a kilo of cocaine through the airport inside his prosthetic legs, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.

Authorities said that after arriving from Jamaica Nov. 30, Stewart was stopped by customs inspectors, who allegedly found the drugs hidden inside the fake limbs.

Stewart allegedly attempted to stop the officers from searching his hollow legs by claiming he could not remove them because he needed them to walk.

Yet after demanding the legs be removed, customs officers ran them through an X-ray machine and the hidden drugs were allegedly discovered.

The Daily News said Stewart was being held until he can officially be arraigned.
