A former B.C. real estate agent and aspiring Playboy model was arrested after flying to California on a private plane loaded with MDMA powder and ecstasy pills, according to U.S. court documents.

Krista Boseley, 30, and her travelling companion, 61-year-old Gilles Lapointe, are charged with conspiracy to distribute ecstasy. Acting on a tip from a separate investigation “that the aircraft or its occupants may be involved in smuggling of narcotics or currency,” officials met the pair when they landed at the John Wayne Airport in Orange County last week.

The two Canadian citizens agreed to be searched, and officials uncovered 40 kilograms of MDMA powder and more than 50,000 ecstasy pills, according to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court and posted online by The Smoking Gun.

A search of the plane also yielded a digital scale and a "GPS Tracker Detector," which the officer said is often used by drug smugglers to determine if law enforcement has placed a tracking device on their vehicles or planes.

The court filing showed that L.A. police stopped Boseley in September 2013 and found her carrying $40,000 that she claimed belonged to someone else.
