Mobile, Alabama, officials arrested two social media influencers who possessed nearly $3 million worth of cocaine in secret compartments of their SUV in early June, according to Lagniappe.
California native Racquelle Dolores Anteola, 34, and Florida native Melissa Dufour, 36, were driving on Interstate 10 in Mobile when Mobile County Sheriff’s Office police pulled them over for a traffic violation.
Amid the stop, police K-9 led officers to believe that Anteola and Dufour had drugs in the vehicle, leading them to discover 217 pounds of cocaine under the Ford Expedition floorboards.
“The vehicle’s back seat was modified with a steel aftermarket compartment,” MSO officers told Lagniappe. “The SUV’s floor had also been lowered and welded back together to provide storage room. The second compartment was located in the back of the SUV, where the side panels were hollowed out.”
Anteola and Dufour gave police two conflicting stories, but police learned that the women were driving from Houston and making their way to Atlanta.
MCSO and U.S. Border Patrol took the women into custody at the Mobile County Metro Jail on cocaine trafficking charges, according to the county jail records.
Dufour is a fitness entrepreneur with a clothing line called Sexy Sweats. Anteola is a singer and rapper who goes by Rahky on social media.
Many people flooded their comments on old and recent posts poking fun at the women. Others claimed that the women’s outcome should teach regular people to be grateful for their everyday lifestyles.
“Wow, you a whole damn drug dealer..girl, wth,” one person commented under a Sexy Sweats promotion video.
“Chasing this materialistic lifestyle got her caught up. Now her life is over. Take note, people. Nothing wrong with a 9-5, a Chevy Cruz, a house in the suburbs and a vacation once a year to the Grand Canyon. It’s more than 99% of people on earth have.”
“Singer by day, Franklin saint by night,” someone wrote under Anteola’s post.
“215 Ibs of cocaine. What were you thinking?”
